Holiday Cheer
Hope Starts Here with Holiday Cheer is CVSA’s annual End of the Year Giving fundraiser. CVSA knows many have been hit hard financially due to the COVID-19 pandemic; non-profits have also been deeply affected by the pandemic. As a result of the pandemic, CVSA has had to make many drastic changes in the way it operates. With CVSA being the one and only non-profit that provides support, education, and resources to CVS patients and their families in North America; we know that after 27 years we still need to be here for CVS patients to find their hope when they need it most.
New in 2020:
- Monthly Virtual Expert Presentations given by CVS experts and experts in their fields that are relevant to CVS patients and their families
- The Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association YouTube channel where you can watch all the monthly presentations
- Moving the support call to Zoom for people to put a face with the name they are interacting with
- Stories of Hope and Helping project to help those not affected by CVS understand what it is like to have and live with CVS; the videos are posted on our YouTube channel
What CVSA continues to provide:
- Connect people to doctors that treat CVS
- Educate both those affected by CVS and health professionals that are treating CVS
- Provide the most accurate information on CVS by partnering with our team of medical advisors
