Fundraising Events Calendar
From elaborate events that raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to penny drives at schools, fundraising events come in all shapes and sizes. 85% of the donations for the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund are raised by families. The Fund has an outstanding record of fiscal responsibility. Administrative costs for 2010 were 10 percent of total expenses—this operating efficiency allows the Fund to spend more on furthering its mission of research and family support.
