A Party for a Purpose
We are excited to present our Second Annual Party for a Purpose, our reimagined annual fundraiser. Building on the tradition of Poker for Preemies, this campaign invites you to turn your next gathering into a meaningful way to support vital NICU and Disability Support Programs. Our goal is to raise $55,000, and by hosting a Party for a Purpose, you can directly impact the lives of families with children who have special healthcare needs or have experienced a NICU stay.
Host a Party: Make an Impact
Transform your gathering into an opportunity to create a real difference. The location and theme are entirely up to you—whether you throw a BBQ at home, plan a luncheon at the office, organize a game night, host a brunch, or arrange a round of golf, it’s more than just a gathering—it’s a party for a purpose!
Become a Sponsor
Your business or organization can make a lasting impact by becoming a sponsor. Sponsorship is a great way to showcase your commitment to supporting families of NICU babies and children with disabilities while gaining visibility in our community.
Plan a Party
1. Sign Up to Host: Let us know you're interested in hosting by signing up. You can provide the details of your event at a later time.
2. We'll Be In Touch: After you sign up, we’ll connect with you to learn more about your plans and help you get set up. We’ll create a custom fundraising page you can share with friends and guests, and we’ll send along optional materials—like sample wording and info about FSNCC—to help you share why this matters to you.
3. Set a Fundraising Goal: Decide on a fundraising target. This goal can motivate your guests and give everyone a shared purpose.
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 the Donation Link: You can share the Party for a Purpose fundraising link with anyone—friends, family, and those who are unable to attend. Encourage them to contribute and make a difference.
Can’t attend or host? You can still help.
Your donation helps provide essential support for NICU families and families of individuals with disabilities.
Whether it’s a one-time gift or in honor of someone special, every contribution helps families feel less alone during a challenging time.

Join Us at the Afterparty
Once the fundraising efforts conclude and the totals are in, we'll host a small gathering to express our gratitude. It's our way to recognize the success of our top donors and hosts. This event will be an intimate celebration with appetizers, drinks, and great company, offering a unique opportunity to connect with other donors who are equally invested in our mission.
More details about the venue will be shared, but we promise it will be a memorable evening to celebrate your collective achievements.
