Host an event

Find the Right Event for You

IRSF offers three unique ways to host a fundraising event, each with varying levels of support from our team. Whether you’re planning an independent fundraiser, collaborating with us on a partnered event, or organizing a signature Strollathon, there’s an option to match your vision. Explore the possibilities and discover how you can make a meaningful impact.

Independent Fundraiser

An independent fundraiser is for organizers who do not require support from IRSF staff. These events are often personal and can range from birthday parties where donations to IRSF are accepted in lieu of gifts, to any event where the organizers handle all aspects of planning and execution on their own. Independent fundraisers offer flexibility and allow you to support IRSF in a way that fits your unique event style and needs while still making a meaningful impact.

Partnered Fundraiser

A partnered fundraiser is an event that receives support from IRSF staff and financial assistance for event costs to reach a predetermined fundraising goal. These events are typically larger grossing fundraisers, such as golf tournaments and galas. As part of the partnership, an event budget is required to ensure alignment with goals and resources. IRSF staff provide hands-on support, helping to ensure the success of these significant fundraising events.

Strollathon

The Strollathon is the signature event of IRSF, serving as both a peer-to-peer fundraiser and a way to bring the Rett community and their supporters together. These events are filled with fun activities, energy, and a vibrant stroll, creating an opportunity for families, friends, and supporters to connect while raising essential funds for Rett syndrome research and family support. These are branded events with tools and support specifically designed for them.
