For a decade, Project Lyme has been advancing solutions for Lyme and tick-borne diseases through education, research, advocacy, and patient support. To celebrate, our Emerging Leaders Board is challenging our community to a 10-day sprint: raise $10,000 between July 31 and August 9, 2026.
As we hit fundraising milestones along the way, your generosity will unlock a growing pool of recognition items for our donor community, from wellness products to a Celluma LED device and a NIKKI Watch with a Lyme Wellness Program. The more we raise together, the more that is unlocked for everyone.
Whether you give $10 or $1,000, every gift counts toward our goal and helps fund the next decade of Project Lyme’s mission.
Ten years of impact. Ten days to make history. One mission that unites us all.
Recognition items are gratuitous gifts, not a raffle or purchase. See full details, eligibility, and how items are assigned in our Official Rules.
Donate Now
1. Give any amount, any time during the campaign.
Every donation between July 31 and August 9 counts toward the $10,000 goal, and every dollar goes straight to Project Lyme’s education, research, advocacy, and patient support programs.
2. Watch the milestones unlock.
As the total climbs, we will hit a series of milestones. Each one releases a new recognition item, donated by a generous sponsor, into a shared pool for our donors.
3. Your place is earned, not left to chance.
This is not a raffle. Items are assigned by how much each donor gives over the course of the campaign. The higher your cumulative total, the earlier you pick from what’s been unlocked. (Corporate, foundation, and donor-advised fund gifts count toward the campaign total but aren’t eligible for items. See the Official Rules for the specifics.)
4. Tell us what you’d love.
Once the campaign closes, we’ll notify eligible donors and ask them to rank the unlocked items in order of preference. From there we work down the list by total giving and match people with what they picked.
5. Your gift is already at work.
Item or no item, your donation supports the mission in full. The recognition items are a thank you. The point is ten years of progress, and the many years ahead.
Full eligibility rules, milestone details, and item values are available in our Official Rules.
