2020 Virtual Strides for CJD

Through this event, anyone -- anywhere -- can pay tribute to their loved ones and raise funds for the CJD Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, to provide family support, medical education and research programs.

Set up a team or an individual fundraising page, and share it with all your contacts via email and social media.  Teams who raise $1,000+ by August 21 will be able to have their loved one’s name included on the participant t-shirt.

Note: Team fundraising pages are made up of individual fundraising pages.  The amount an individual raises counts toward his or her team’s total.  You can either create a team or join an existing team.

The Top Two Fundraising Teams Nationally, based on donations made by September 10, 2020, at Midnight Eastern Time (minimum $1,000) would receive:

• Recognition of that team and tribute to their loved one on the CJD Foundation website.
• Recognition of team, tribute to their loved one, and a memorial award presented at the CJD Foundation Annual Family Conference in Washington DC in July 2021
• One free conference registration, one hotel room, and conference meals for a representative of the team to receive the memorial award for fundraising at the 2021 CJD Foundation Annual Family Conference (travel expenses not included.)
• Recognition at Strides for CJD Virtual Opening Ceremony on October 3, 2020.
• Recognition on social media.
• A page (“quilt square”) on CJD Foundation memory quilt.

The Third, Fourth, and Fifth Highest Fundraising Teams Nationally, based on donations made by September 10, 2020, at Midnight Eastern Time (minimum $1,000) would receive:
