Hold your own yard sale, cocktail or pizza party. It's easy if you start close to home. Contact FRAXA's Chapter Coordinator Melissa Budek for ideas, contacts, brochures, and other materials.  Then contact your local newspaper and see if they will feature a story on Fragile X. They will be especially interested if they can write a story about a local family. You can provide information from this website.
