Upcoming Events & Fundraisers
With the help from incredible friends and new friends, we fundraise for Grayson’s Medical Fund. His medical fund is used for expensive specialty medication, trips to out of state doctors and for his future medical needs. We thank you for your kind thoughts and support!
Around the Country Challenge
Around the Country Challenge - A Facebook Fundraiser!
A great friend of ours came to us with a unique fundraiser idea that we’d like to try, to help raise awareness about Grayson’s story and raise donations toward his Medical Fund (used to travel to doctor visits, medication and for Grayson’s future). This fundraiser will also help educate about Batten Disease and hopefully help to enhance fundraising efforts toward research.
We’d like the whole country to know how brave Grayson is and we need your help!
Here’s how it works:
Please comment a state and tag a person you know in that state. By sharing his story with someone new we hope to educate on his disease and a small donation considered.
We can have the same state nominated multiple times, but we’d also like to reach ALL 50!
(If you’d rather not comment please feel free to share on your own.)
For Grayson’s story and to learn more about CLN3 Batten Disease please go to:
(the website tracks cities and states of viewers and we can’t wait to share Grayson’s reach!)
If you and who you nominate share this post you AND that person will have the chance to win a $50 gift card each.
Donations can be any amount, we absolutely welcome a few dollars or more.
- Venmo or CashApp: EmilyNaff12
- GoFundMe: gofund.me/417e6583
For each state that is nominated Grayson will place a sticker up on his United States Map that hangs in his room!
Let’s get Grayson’s story to all 50 states!
Our gracious friend will give $10 per state that donates, giving us the potential for an extra $500 donation!
We are so grateful for the love and support. Thank you all who have donated to his fund already.
This fundraiser/challenge will run until the beginning of December.
