Fundraise for a world without NEC

We are deeply grateful to everyone who chooses to fundraise for the NEC Society by creating a personal fundraising page. Your efforts help bring our vision—a world without NEC—closer to reality.

Honor a loved one & support the NEC Society

Many families, clinicians, and people who care choose to fundraise on behalf of the NEC Society to help build a world without this devastating disease. Fundraising is an impactful way to recognize a significant milestone or anniversary, or honor a loved one.  

Fundraising is an opportunity to share your story, raise awareness, and provide the NEC Society with the necessary resources to fuel our work.

How to Get Started

  1. Decide how you’d like to share how NEC has affected your life or why you are helping to build a world without NEC.
  2. Set a fundraising goal and communicate why you support the NEC Society, a tax- exempt nonprofit organization (EIN#: 46-4426455).
  3. Sharing your story and fundraising may feel uncomfortable at first, but remember that your loved ones and community want to support you.
  4. Be sure to tag the NEC Society (@nec.society) in your communications and use the hashtag #preventNEC

They are smiling, wearing athletic gear or NEC Society shirts, and holding posters of babies impacted by NEC, along with a blue sign that reads, “Running 26.2 for the NEC Society: Building a world without NEC.”
Every year, runners from around the world fundraise for the NEC Society leading up to the California International Marathon

Host an Event for the NEC Society

Many families and clinicians organize local events to honor children and families affected by NEC and spread awareness within their communities.
