Fundraise on Facebook
With just a few clicks, you can create a Facebook Fundraiser to raise money for GIST and other rare diseases. Your generosity has the power to create a future free from the grip of a rare disease. Share this mission with your family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues, and let’s amplify our impact together. Celebrate a birthday, milestone or holiday by inviting everyone to donate to your Fundraising page. Every donation brings us one step closer to a world where all patients affected by gastrointestinal stromal tumor can not only survive but thrive.
