Our community of fundraisers leverages their personal networks to support our mission to serve the entire Fragile X community to live their best lives.

Current Community, Peer-to-Peer, and In Honor or Memory Fundraising Campaigns

Individual fundraising campaigns are driven by families, friends, and loved ones united by a shared commitment to making a difference for the Fragile X community. Whether you’re honoring someone special, celebrating a milestone, or inspired to give back, your efforts support families affected by Fragile X syndrome and the Fragile X premutation—making an impact starting today.

If you have any questions about how to set up a personal fundraising campaign or event, please contact Kristin at kristin@fragilex.org.

In Honor of Tom Carollo

In Loving Memory of My Husband, Thomas Carollo

Watching Tom lose his independence was heartbreaking. FXTAS — Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome — gradually took away his mobility and his ability to care for himself. In his final year, everyday tasks became difficult, then impossible without help.

I cared for him at home with love, wanting him to feel comfortable and respected through every change. But FXTAS was unfamiliar to many of the professionals treating him, and we struggled to find answers and guidance. No family should feel so lost while caring for someone they love.

Dr. David Hessl’s 2026 Xtreme Hike

I’m raising money for the National Ataxia Foundation and National Fragile X Foundation!

I’m thrilled to be participating in the 2026 Xtreme Hike, October 8-11, 2026, a fundraiser supporting the National Ataxia and National Fragile X Foundations! I will be hiking rim-to-rim in the Grand Canyon to support these great organizations. I’m passionate about this cause and need your help! Every donation — big or small — helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

2026 Fishing for a Cure

Joey Christoff started the Fishing for a Cure tradition in 2014 in honor of his son, Mitchell, who has Fragile X syndrome, and for his wife and mother-in-law, who are carriers at risk of Fragile X-associated disorders. So far, this beloved event has raised more than $102,000 for Fragile X advocacy, education, research and treatment.
