Fundraisers:

 

 

 

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)

 

If you are interested in donating directly to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, one of the leading hospitals in the treatment and research of EGID, they have created a permanent fund for research of Eosinophilic Disease.

 

Checks or money orders should be made payable to “The Children's Hospital Foundation” and sent to:

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Development Department, Attention:  Tess Boyle
34th Street and Civic Center Boulevard
Philadelphia, PA 19104

Donors should write either "EE Fund" or the fund number, which is 27087-278850000, on the memo line.  It's very important, so that the money is directed to this particular fund.

If anyone has a question about donations, you could call Tess Boyle (associate director) at 267-426-6493 or contact her via email at: boylet@email.chop.edu.

Donors can also make a gift online at http://www.giftofchildhood.com

Just make sure that “EE Fund” or “Fund # 27087-278850000” is specified. 

 

Everyone who makes a gift to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia will get a tax receipt.

 

 

 

APFED's HOPE CHALLENGE

APFED says: "We challenge everyone who uses the APFED web site for information for themselves, their child, or simply to better understand eosinophilic disorders to watch our 'Just A Glimpse' video. After viewing it, consider sharing it and send the link to it to your entire address book. With these simple steps, with the community coming together we can make a tremendous impact for now and for the future of eosinophilic disorders.  There is Hope on the Horizon, and together, we can reach it.  Thank You."

All money donated specifically to the "Hope Research Fund" goes to research.  This has been and continues to be an available option on their donations page.  Research grant applications are expert reviewed for merit and recipients must submit a budget detailing that funds are used solely to support research, not administrative costs associated with the research site. 

 

Here is APFED's PDF regarding how the donations are used:

APFED also has a wonderful new cookbook

to help with our special dietary needs.

It’s called “Extreme Cooking for Exceptional Diets”

and it is available via their website (store).
