Angelman Syndrome Foundation

What is Angelman syndrome and the Angelman Syndrome Foundation?

Angelman syndrome is a neuro-developmental disorder that occurs in 1 in 15,000 live births. Individuals with Angelman syndrome often show characteristics similar to those affected by autism, cerebral palsy and Prader-Willi syndrome. That's why it's important to increase awareness and understanding of Angelman syndrome, as misdiagnosis is a prevalent problem among individuals with this developmental disorder.

Team and Fundraising How to's

It would be an honor for you to create a team and join us on May 17, 2025. 

Thank you for supporting the Angelman Syndrome community and Angelman Syndrome Foundation. Thank you for gathering your family and friends, to come support this event. 


STEPS ON CREATING YOUR RUN/WALK and/or FUNDRAISING TEAM 
 

Step 1:           Go to the race registration website link:    


Step 2:          To Create a Run/Walk Team
1. Click Register to race

2. Select the race(s) you will participate in + at the bottom of the page select "Would you like to join or create a team".

3. Next, you will agree to the race waiver.  ON the next page you will click on the Create a New Team tab. Once you enter the team name you will click on Continue.  On your Confirmation page you will receive a link for your Run/Walk team that you can send to your family and friends so they can register and join your team.

4. The option to set up a team fundraiser can be done at a later point in your registration process or at a later time (reference Step 3 below).  

5. Once you (team captain) are registered: your community of support can select "JOIN A TEAM" and pick your team's name during their own registration process to be a part of your Run/Walk team.

Important: should any team member miss the step to join your team, no worries! Please email our race timing company (Race Pace Multisport/ AunJelle Burton) at ajattack@gmail.com for more details.
 

Step 3:           How to Create a Fundraising Team or Individual Fundraiser
1. The easiest way to get started is to click on Donate, then Become a Fundraiser, OR if you are registering for the race, it can be done on the 5th page which is the Donate page.  You can choose to "become a fundraiser" which allows teams to set goals to raise funds for the organization. You can become an "individual fundraiser," and/or a "team fundraiser".   If you are not ready to set up a team fundraising goal, you can surpass the option by clicking continue.

2. Scroll down to the section Become A Fundraiser: You can choose to become an INDIVIDUAL FUNDRAISER OR TEAM FUNDRAISER and continue by entering in the required information. 

3. Personalization: personalize your fundraiser's content as you wish! This is all about your why. 

The link to your fundraising page, which is generated after your registration is complete, offers options for you to share detailed information with others (such as a special photo, image and/or personal story about yourself/your loved one). Many angel families and teams who race, tie in a Team Name/Theme with a custom team shirt that they wear on race day. What is special to each team or angel family, can be used in this content to share with others as a fundraising tool. Corporate/Business teams are welcomed and encouraged as well. 

4. Share your Fundraising Link! 

Fundraising Ideas: selling a custom team shirt to your team members (to wear on race day), collecting additional donation dollars from team members or soliciting companies to sponsor the Holden's Hope race, are all ideas to generate and meet your fundraising goals. Sponsorship commitments are due by March 15th 2023 to count toward fundraising goals. 

5. Fundraising Incentives: see the Fundraising Initiatives page for more information
