Host Your Own Event

Many events have been held throughout the years by dedicated members of the Histio Community, which have made a huge impact on research, awareness, education, and the fight for better treatments and cure. We are so grateful to the families and friends who have contributed to our fundraising events! It is because of volunteers and event hosts that we are able to continue to serve the Histio Community each year.

Fundraising events can be big or small, private or public, in-person or virtual - let your imagination run wild and we'll help you fulfill your vision!

April 25-27,2025

Since 2010, Tracy and Ryan Brown, along with their son Ian, have been hosting the Histio Hike Shenandoah in the mountains of Shenandoah National Park. Each year, patients, families and friends come together in this retreat-like setting to enjoy a weekend of hiking and other family-friendly activities with other families battling this rare disease. 

Whether you are an experienced hiker or just starting to hit the trails the three levels of hikes are perfect for anyone looking to get outside for a great cause.   

A portion of the proceeds from the Histio Hike Shenandoah goes toward a Histio Warrior Student Scholarship.
