Fundraising
At Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, we not only care for patients, but also help them return to full lives. To meet this goal, we offer a number of programs designed to enhance the quality of life for people who have lost ability due to serious injury or chronic conditions. These programs are often not covered by insurance and your support ensures all patients benefit from them, regardless of their ability to pay.
Customize Your Fundraising Page
With your page, you can:
- Let people know you’ve set a goal—and plan to achieve it
- Make your own pledge first to show your commitment to the cause
- Track your fundraising progress
- Send potential donors personalized e-mails as event day approaches
- Thank your donors for their generosity

Share Your Impact
Your support directly impacts our Quality of Life Programs which are often not covered by insurance. Read our Donor Impact Report and share with your donors so they can see their impact too.
Double Your Impact
Many companies offer a matching gift program to encourage philanthropy among their employees. That means your gift can help even more people recover lost abilities and return to their lives and the people they love. Double the hope. Double the healing.

Facebook Fundraisers
Our platform allows you to connect your fundraising page with a Facebook fundraiser.
Keep in mind, you must have your total fundraising amount completed in order to pick up your race bib at the marathon expo, so please make sure you finish your fundraising by then through Facebook, or plan to receive the rest of your required donations directly through your DonorDrive page.
