Party for Preemies

Party for Preemies is a community fundraising campaign that makes it easy to turn any gathering into an opportunity to support local families. Individuals, businesses, organizations, and community groups can host fundraising events that benefit Family Support Network of Central Carolina's NICU and Disability Support Programs.

Whether it's a birthday party, cookout, game night, workplace fundraiser, golf outing, or another special event, your fundraiser helps provide support, education, and resources to families experiencing a NICU stay and families caring for a loved one with a disability or special healthcare needs.

There are two ways to get involved: host a fundraiser or become a campaign sponsor.

Host a Party

Turn your next gathering into something meaningful. From backyard BBQs, office luncheons, game nights, brunches, golf outings, and more, every event helps provide support, education, and resources to families experiencing a NICU stay and families caring for a loved one with a disability or special healthcare needs.

Become a Sponsor

Your business or organization can help make Party for Preemies a success by becoming a sponsor. Sponsors provide vital support for FSNCC's NICU and Disability Support Programs while receiving recognition throughout the campaign. Sponsorship levels offer a variety of recognition opportunities.

Click the Fundraise button to get started. Enter your name and email address to create your fundraising page. You can enter your event details later, so don't worry if you don't have everything planned yet.

2. Set a Fundraising Goal

Choose a fundraising target for your campaign. This goal can motivate your guests and give everyone a shared purpose.

3. Personalize Your Fundraising Page

Make your campaign your own! You can add photos, update the wording, and change the color scheme to personalize your page. Zeffy will also provide default thank-you letters as you go through the setup process.

4. Invite Your Network

This is a great opportunity to share the work of FSNCC with your friends, family, and colleagues who may not be aware of the support we provide to families in our area.

5. Share Your Fundraising Page

Once your campaign is ready, Zeffy gives you two easy ways to share it: download your QR code or copy your campaign web link. Share your Party for Preemies fundraising page by email, text, social media, or at your event and encourage others to support your fundraiser.
