On your mark. Get set. Give up your cup - again!
#GiveUpYourCup kicks off this Saturday, and thanks to supporters like you, we’ve made incredible progress in funding life-changing research. Your participation last year is fueling critical studies today, bringing us closer to a cure. Will you join us again?
Three easy ways to take part—choose one (or all!):
- Donate your coffee savings: Estimate what you’d spend on coffee this month and donate that amount to fund Dravet research.
- Track your skipped cups: Each time you pass on coffee in March, set that money aside and make a donation at the end of the month.
- Start a fundraiser: Set up a #GiveUpYourCup page, share it with friends and family, and invite them to join. (We’ve got great incentives!)
Where does your support go?
Last year’s campaign helped fund our Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, which has allowed us to invest over $1 million in 18 rising scientists since 2009. One of this year’s projects, led by Dr. Xu Zhang (Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School), is exploring a noninvasive ultrasound technique to restore brain function and suppress seizures in Dravet syndrome—research that could lead to a new, effective treatment option.

And don’t worry—we won’t judge if you donate and still grab your coffee. Every dollar raised brings us closer to a cure for those living with Dravet syndrome.
Let’s do it again! Join #GiveUpYourCup today and invite others to take part. Every skipped sip fuels hope for a future without Dravet syndrome.
We love the Give Up Your Cup fundraiser because it is a low-effort way to raise much needed funds for Dravet syndrome. We are always impressed at the generosity we receive from friends and family on this fundraiser!
