Itching for a Cure Walk

The first ever walk for eczema, the National Eczema Association’s Itching for a Cure 5K, took place on April 28, 2012 in Asheville, North Carolina, and was a tremendous success!  

More than 250 walkers of all ages participated on the beautiful University of North Carolina-Asheville campus. WLOS TV Anchor Tammy Watford was the emcee and did a live broadcast from the event. Mix 96.5 WOXL Radio Morning Show Hosts Tammy & Strickland kept the tunes and the crowd going and also had live broadcasts from the event.

The National Eczema Association is grateful for the efforts of Itching for a Cure

Action & Advocacy - Federal Research Funding

We must advocate together to increase federal funding for research on eczema so that more of our public tax dollars are appropriated by Congress to key national research institutions like the NIH (National Institutes of Health) and CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and other federal agencies for eczema research needs.

Print and TV Media Tips

Make plans now to contact your local media to arrange for a personal interview. Newspapers generally prefer to run stories about people in their local area. Also be aware of opportunities on television, radio, and other print media.

Ways to Give

When you support the National Eczema Association (NEA), you know that your investment is working for the future of the millions of men, women, and children in the United States who live with eczema.

Ways to Get Involved and Raise Awareness

NEA has how-to information for participating in National Eczema Awareness Month, as well as promoting awareness throughout the year. This list is only a beginning; if you can think it, you can do it!

Ways of Giving - Leave NEA in Your Will

Sample language for Wills and Trusts: If you wish to make a bequest to the National Eczema Association.

Ways of Giving - Employer Matching Gift Programs

More and more corporations of all sizes offer matching gift programs as a way to promote positive employee and public relations. Programs are designed to achieve a range of objectives and may include the opportunity for your company to match a variety of gifts you make to NEA including cash, life insurance, stocks and securities, and more.

Ways of Giving - Stock and Securities

Because of recent stock market volatility, this may be a great time to consider making a gift of stock that has increased in value. You may never be in a better position to benefit from a gift of stock, bonds or mutual fund shares. Giving stock benefits you two ways.

Ways of Giving - Planned Giving

Planned gifts are the ultimate expression of your commitment and caring and opportunity to invest in the shared vision of a world without eczema, where no one experiences the challenges related to eczema and everyone enjoys the freedom to participate fully in life.

Ways of Giving - Gifts of Cash

A cash donation is one of the easiest ways to give. Choose to make a one-time gift. Celebrate someone special, recognize an important event such as a birthday, wedding or graduation, or make a gift in memory of or in honor of a loved one.
