We raise money for our patient fund through live events and fund drives. Our sister organization, Ticked Off Music Fest, has been hosting Lyme disease benefit concerts around the U.S. since 2013. The goal of the concert series in general is to drive awareness, give tips on prevention, and to educate on the many symptoms of the diseases. It is to also raise funds and support treatment for Lyme patients in crisis. VIEW WEBSITE >>
