What are Teen Ambassadors?
Dedicated high school Teen Ambassadors play an important role in raising both awareness and funds to support children with rare and undiagnosed diseases. Between September and March, ambassadors raise a minimum of $500, using their own creativity to make an impact. Whether it’s organizing a bake sale, hosting a small event, or coming up with another initiative, ambassadors have the freedom to choose how they want to fundraise. This program is not only a chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of children and families but also an opportunity to develop leadership, community engagement, and advocacy skills.
Your donation, combined by the passion of our Teen Ambassadors, helps families access diagnostic pathways, testing, and resources that guide them toward answers and better care.
Your support today empowers these teens to create real, lasting impact.
