U are the UMDF!

The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation and its army of dedicated volunteers raised over $1.7 million in the past year for life-saving research and awareness.  To build on that success, the UMDF needs YOU to increase awareness of mitochondrial disease in your community.  And a great way to educate others about mitochondrial disease is to organize a fundraising event.

Browse through our "50 Ways to Fundraise," and then contact the Special Events Department to get started today!
