Organize a Fundraising Event National Stroke Association's mission to reduce the incidence and impact of stroke is helped by fundraising events planned by people whose lives have been touched by stroke -- people just like you. Each year many people plan, participate in, and contribute to community fundraising events to increase awareness of stroke and raise money that allows National Stroke Association to achieve its mission. Examples of past events range from fashion shows and high school plays to sporting events such as motorcycle runs, walks, swims, and marathons.   Read more about past events.
