Fundraising Progress
On behalf of the Geismar family, NFED staff, and the Halloween Bash Committee who worked tirelessly to make it happen – THANK YOU for supporting this year’s Halloween Bash.
Since the very first Bash in 2001, this event has generated more than $4.5 million to change lives—and this year added even more to that incredible legacy.
Because of your generosity, we can provide life-changing support, resources, and advocacy for individuals and families affected by ectodermal dysplasias around the world.
Be sure to check out our Halloween Bash Journal below to learn more about the progress NFED is making, to celebrate our sponsors, and to read heartfelt messages from our supporters.
We can’t wait to see you at the next Halloween Bash. Until then, thank you for standing with us and every family we serve.
