Use of Collected Funds
Operating costs to organise and host the EURORDIS Gala Dinner will be covered by corporate philanthropy. All net funds will be allocated to the actions outlined below.
The net proceeds collected from the Gala will be used to support or initiate the following three actions:
- Breaking the isolation of rare disease patients and their families through the development of European networking and international patient communities;
- Empowering leaders of rare disease communities through training, capacity-building activities and seed money to foster their research and therapeutic development activities;
- Increasing public awareness through our international communication campaign, Rare Disease Day, which takes place every year on the last day of February.
