Get Involved

From its Board of Directors, to its Family Support Newtork representatives, AHC Foundation is a volunteer run organization. This allows us to funnel the vast majority of the donations we receive into AHC research. It does mean, however, that we rely heavily on volunteers from the AHC community. Please consider helping us out in the facilitation of our fundraising efforts, making a donation, raising awareness, volunteering your time and support of AHC patients and their families.

Donate

Make a tax-deductible contribution to Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

  Matching Donations Many companies match donations, and some even double or triple your donation.  Check with your company to see if they match donations. United Way and Corporate Giving Programs: Many companies allow you to donate pre-tax dollars to your favorite charity.  Some companies do this through United Way, where you can designate AHC Foundation as the beneficiary.  Other companies have Employee Giving Programs which deduct a set amount from your pre-tax salary each month for AHCF.

Fundraise

Consider holding a fundraiser for AHCF.  We will help guide you through the process. Contact Vicky Platt via email: vicky@ahckids.org Resources to get you started:

Set-Up an Honorarium to tell an AHC patient’s story.

You can help AHCF set-up a page for an AHC patient and share their story.  Provide the text and images to include, and we can format the page for inclusion into our Honorarium.  These can then be linked to collect donations on behalf  of that patient.  A personal connection to fund raising, and raising awareness within your networks.
