Join the NFXF Online Fundraising Team
in the
25 Dollars for 25 Years Campaign!
Have you been looking for a way to support the NFXF,
but you’re just too busy to plan an event? We have the
solution for you! In honor of our 25th Anniversary, the NFXF
is asking volunteers to raise money online in our “25
Dollars for 25 Years” campaign – It’s fast,
easy, and totally secure.
Using Firstgiving, you can create an online fundraising
page with your own personal touch – include photos and/or
a video of your family, and tell your personal story. Then,
you can email the link to your family, friends, and colleagues
to your page, asking them to donate $25 or more in your honor.

Why 25 Dollars for 25 Years?
Beginning in 2010, the NFXF is embarking on an early
diagnosis initiative, spreading awareness and educating pediatricians
and other professionals to better recognize the early signs
of Fragile X. Proceeds from the $25 for 25 Years campaign will
help lower the age of Fragile X diagnosis.
