Get Started

The LAM Foundation builds in copy for you to use, but the most successful fundraisers tell a story that helps the donor feel connected to why raising funds for The LAM Foundation matters to you.

START WITH YOUR “WHY”

• Share why raising awareness about LAM and fundraising to support The LAM Foundation’s mission is important to you.

MAKE IT PERSONAL

• What is your connection to LAM?
• How has LAM impacted your [or a loved one’s] life?
• If you have LAM: When were you diagnosed? What was that journey like? How do you want that experience to change for others who have LAM?

BE AUTHENTIC

• You do not need the “perfect” words. Honest and genuine stories are the most powerful.

EXPLAIN THE IMPACT

• Tell supporters how their donation can help make a difference. How has The LAM Foundation helped you or your loved one?

END WITH A CLEAR INVITATION

• Encourage people to donate, share your page, or join your effort to raise awareness and funds for better treatments and a cure for LAM.

THINK ABOUT WHO YOU KNOW

Along with friends and family, you have acquaintances, current and former colleagues, fellow alumni, community and religious groups, neighbors, and even businesses you frequent. Share your fundraising link! Given the opportunity, most people are happy to contribute. Don’t hesitate to ask!

HOW TO ASK FOR DONATIONS

Social media channels have made fundraising user-friendly, allowing you to message everyone in your group. You can reinforce this through text, phone, email, or in person. Make sure everyone knows how much this cause means to you.

To help boost your fundraising during Worldwide LAM Awareness Month, try these examples of what to say and when to say it:

WEEK 1 – 6/1/26  (Kickoff Day)

Let’s raise awareness and fundraise for better treatments and a cure for LAM during Worldwide LAM Awareness Month!

WEEK 2 – 6/8/26

Reminder: My #WLAM fundraiser is underway – join me!

Ask five family members, 10 close friends and four neighbors to each make a $25 donation. Ask ten members from a house of worship or community group to chip in $5 each.
