HDSA Team Hope Walk & 5K Cleveland,

About the event

The Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) is excited to announce the Northeast Ohio Team Hope Walk to be held Sunday, August 20, 2023 at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Team Hope Walk events represent the largest local opportunity for members of the HD community to come together with friends, family members, neighbors and the community at large to raise necessary awareness and funds to support HDSA.
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It deteriorates a person’s physical and mental abilities during their prime working years and has no cure.
Every child of a parent with HD has a 50/50 chance of carrying the faulty gene that causes HD. Today, there are 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at-risk of inheriting the disease. Many describe the symptoms of HD as having ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s – simultaneously.
A local Team Hope Walk sponsorship at any level is an excellent opportunity for you to support a great cause and to take advantage of a wonderful marketing opportunity. Since their inception, Team Hope Walks have raised more than $13 million and involved tens of thousands of participants from local communities across America. As a local sponsor, you
will be increasing your brand recognition and visibility, demonstrating your commitment to the local community your employees and customers live and work in.

Why should you sponsor?

This cause is extremely important to so many members of our community. Your sponsorship of the Team Hope Walk program will be greatly appreciated and will make a huge difference to the thousands of families who are living with HD. We are requesting all types of support including sponsorship, in-kind goods, and corporate teams to participate in the walk and
volunteers. To learn more about Huntington’s disease and HDSA, please visit www.hdsa.org, and our Team Hope webpage at www.hdsa.org/thwcleveland.

Proceeds from Team Hope support the mission and programs of HDSA, the premier nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by Huntington’s disease. From community services and education to advocacy and research, HDSA is the world’s leader in providing help for today, hope for tomorrow for people with Huntington’s disease
and their families. In the battle against Huntington’s disease no one fights alone. At HDSA, family is everything.
