CCHS Day 2020: Be A CCHS Hero

6th Annual International CCHS Day: November 14, 2020

The CCHS Foundation is calling all HEROES to join our fight for a CURE! Mark your calendar for Saturday, November 14th! The theme for our 6th Annual International CCHS Day is “Be A CCHS Hero”. CCHS Day is our biggest annual fundraiser of the year and we hope to count on YOU!

Living with CCHS day after day can be lonely for patients and families. But when we take a step back, we can see that we are not alone! There are heroes in our lives who stand with us, support us, care for us, and encourage us. This CCHS Day we are shining a light on our unsung heroes!

Who in your life makes living with a CCHS easier, happier, more hopeful? This is your opportunity to acknowledge that person by nominating them as a CCHS Hero! We want to hear about the grandparent, sibling, aunt or uncle, nurse, doctor, neighbor, friend, babysitter, or teacher who has lifted your burden in some way. How did they step up and make a difference in your life? Your nominated CCHS hero will be featured in CCHS Day social media posts and announcements. Here are a few guidelines as you consider your nomination:

  • While you could likely name ten or more people who deserve the title of CCHS hero, we ask that each CCHS family nominate just one individual for this campaign.
  • CCHS patients and parents are the real SUPERHEROES! However, we are going to use this platform to honor those who have not been directly affected by CCHS yet have risen to the challenge. Please refrain from nominating CCHS patients and parents for this specific campaign.

CCHS Heroes On The Move – Virtual Walk/Run

This International CCHS Day 2020, we are asking our supporters to suit up and collectively conquer one mile for each CCHS warrior living on our planet through our Virtual Challenge! Together, we will march over 1300 miles while raising awareness for this orphan disease. Proceeds from the event will support the work of the CCHS Foundation with 75% going to the advancement of research, 20% going to education and advocacy, and 5% going to family support.

Registration is FREE!

The event will launch on November 1st and close on November 14th, International CCHS Day!

Just as every step counts… so does every penny! We are asking challenge participants to either make a personal donation or become a fundraiser. RunSignUp allows you to set up a fundraising team as well as Facebook fundraisers. Prizes will be rewarded to the top three fundraisers. All Participants will receive a “CCHS Hero” certificate at the end of the event.
