Fundraise Your Way for Rush

Turn your passion into impact

Rush’s do-it-yourself, or DIY, fundraising platform makes it easy for you to support the Rush program you care about most. In just minutes, you can create a fundraising page, share your story and invite others to give. Whether you’re honoring a caregiver, celebrating a milestone, showing your alumni pride or rallying your community, DIY fundraising empowers you to make a difference in a personal and meaningful way.

Together, we can advance care, fuel research breakthroughs and educate tomorrow’s healthcare professionals.
