Massachusetts PHF Fundraising Sidelined by COVID19

But It’s Not Stopping Them

The Massachusetts Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation typically holds it 5K Walk and Family Fun Day in September.  However, the COVID10 Pandemic has caused the cancellation of that event, which is typically the biggest fundraising event of the year.


That has not stopped the fundraising activities of Massachusetts Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation though, they are working on interesting alternative ways to raise money; the first event is an online fundraising party with local Pampered Chef Consultant, Mary Ann Hanlon.  The fundraiser will run from June 1st to June 13th right online.  The public can join the event by visiting the link - https://www.facebook.com/events/835383166957729/ - and a portion of each sale will go directly to Massachusetts Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation.


The second fundraiser will be a Calendar Raffle in September, which is the month dedicated to Pediatric Hydrocephalus Awareness.  More information will be available in August.  Again, all money raised goes directly to Massachusetts Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation, Inc.


The Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation, an all-volunteer non-profit 501(c) (3) charitable organization, educates the community by raising the level of awareness about hydrocephalus and provides support to families, friends, and children affected by this brain condition.
