Celebrate Your Birthday with Purpose: Start a Fundraiser That Changes Lives

Birthdays are for joy, reflection, and connection — and now, they can help fund groundbreaking research, fuel innovation in assistive technology, and create lasting change for people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.

Celebrate your special day by starting a customized birthday fundraiser to support Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation. Instead of gifts, invite your community to help advance medical research and drive innovation in assistive technology, paving the way for a more inclusive world.

Why It Matters

Funds raised through birthday fundraisers go directly toward accelerating crucial medical research and breakthrough technology that helps people with cerebral palsy live with greater independence, dignity, and opportunity. Your birthday can help ensure that people with CP have access to the care, innovation, and equity they deserve—not just someday, but today.

Make It Personal. Make It Powerful.

Creating a fundraiser is simple and totally customizable. Whether you’re celebrating quietly or throwing a big party, you can:

  • Share your story and why CPARF matters to you

  • Set a fundraising goal that feels right for your circle

  • Invite friends and family to give in honor of your day

Every donation, no matter the size, helps build a better future for people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.
