You do not have to be a golfer or a millionaire to make a real difference. Here are five concrete ways to support HD families in Northern Nevada right now.
Huntington's Disease does not have a cure yet. But there is a lot that can be done right now — for the families living with it today.
NVforHD was built around one belief: that a community that shows up can do real, measurable good for real people. Here are five ways to be part of it. Already know the cause? Contact us directly or read the tournament details. See where every dollar goes and the full tournament details.
1. Play Golf on May 29
The most direct way to contribute to NVforHD is to join us at the third annual charity golf tournament at Gray's Crossing Golf Club in Truckee, CA on May 29, 2026 — full tournament details.
It is a four-person scramble — beginner-friendly, beautiful course, genuinely fun day. Registration includes your round of golf, on-course activities, and post-round dinner and awards.
100% of tournament proceeds go to the UC Davis Huntington's Disease Center of Excellence — the only specialty HD clinic serving 90+ Northern Nevada families.
2. Make a Direct Donation
You do not need to play golf. A direct donation to NVforHD goes to exactly the same place: the UC Davis HD Center of Excellence and the 90+ Northern Nevada families it serves.
There is no meaningful minimum. A $100 donation funds a portion of a patient's genetic counseling session. A $500 donation helps fund a research coordinator for a week. A $3,000 donation funds a full sponsorship level at the tournament.
Contact us at info@nvforhd.com or call 775-691-8860 to donate directly.
3. Become a Tournament Sponsor
If you own or run a business in Northern Nevada, tournament sponsorship is a meaningful way to align your brand with a cause that matters in our community.
Sponsorship levels start at $100 for hole sponsorship and go up to $3,500 for title sponsorship. Every sponsor is recognized on the course, on the NVforHD website with a backlink, and in tournament materials.
More importantly, your logo goes on a hole sign at one of the most beautiful golf courses in the Sierra Nevada — and your business becomes known as one that fights for families dealing with HD.
Email info@nvforhd.com to discuss sponsorship.
4. Volunteer at the Event
NVforHD runs on a small, passionate team. Tournament day requires extra hands for registration, on-course hole management, scoring, dinner setup, and general logistics.
If you want to be part of the day without playing, volunteer slots are available. It is a great way to experience the event, meet the community, and contribute meaningfully without a financial commitment.
Reach out at info@nvforhd.com to express interest.
5. Share This Page — Especially With HD Families
This one costs nothing and may matter more than you think.
HD is a rare disease. Families dealing with a new diagnosis often do not know:
- That a specialty clinic exists at UC Davis serving Northern Nevada
- That IVF with genetic testing can break the generational chain of HD
- That HelpCureHD provides grants to families who cannot afford it
- That NVforHD exists and hosts a tournament specifically to fund these resources
Information finds families when people pass it along.
Every Action Compounds
NVforHD has raised over $50,000 in two years. We have funded one HD-free baby. We are funding a clinic that serves 90+ families. We have sold out one tournament and we are coming back stronger.
Every golfer, donor, sponsor, volunteer, and person who shares a link is part of that number.
We would love to have you with us on May 29.
