Supporting NOVA

Dear Friends of NOVA:

2010 has brought some challenges to NOVA and most other charities.  The economy in the US and around the world has led to a decline in donations across the board.  At NOVA we have “tightened” our belts and have made our organizaiton work more cost effectively then ever.  Many of you already know that NOVA works on on a streamlined budget.  Most of our services are offered by the support of volunteers.  Our physicians, scientists, support staff and board of directors are all volunteers.  We continue to provide information and assistance to everyone one that contacts us.  Most months we are contacted by 100 different individuals!

Eventhough NOVA is an all volunteer organization we still have expenses.  We have been so forutnate that we have never not had enough to cover our needs. 

This year we want to host another conference for families.  In order to make this happen we are begining an active fundrasing season.  We are asking every family that we have assisted over the years to help us in this effort. 

If every family we assisted in 2009 send us a $10 donation we would rasie $12,000 in March! 

In the fall of 2009 one NOVA family hosted a raffle.  $6000. was donated to NOVA from this single event. Other families sent out a letter to friends and family asking for support of the organization that helped their child.  Each of these families raised over $1000 with their letter campaign.

Currently there is a February event being hosted by Wee Rock Coulture-
