Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is inviting you to participate

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is inviting you to participate in an exciting online fundraising event like no other. The Doctors Without Borders ‘Be There 1st’ campaign is an interactive experience that simulates the work of our MSF Emergency Response Team. As the ‘crisis’ unfolds, you will receive personal updates from staff who have worked with MSF in the field, and weekly situation reports (“sit reps”) based on MSF’s previous humanitarian interventions. At the end of the campaign you will walk away with a clear picture of how MSF quickly mobilizes the extensive human and medical resources necessary to mount an emergency response, and the challenges our staff and patients face during a crisis.

Visit BeThere1st.org to build or join a team and create your personal fundraising page. We will provide you with all of the online tools you need to recruit your fundraising team and ask your friends, family, colleagues and extended community for support. As you work to raise funds for MSF, you will see how your donations are immediately put to work to assist the men, women, and children we treat.

Our ability to be there first depends on independent funding from donors like you. Your support for ‘Be There 1st‘ will benefit our Emergency Relief Fund, which allows MSF to dispatch our teams at a moment’s notice to medical humanitarian crises. Through your generosity, MSF will continue to respond more swiftly to emergencies and continue to improve the quality and effectiveness of the medical care we provide in more than 60 countries around the world.

It’s easy to make a difference. Visit BeThere1st.org to join the campaign and the growing community of supporters who make it possible for MSF to be there first when an emergency strikes.

Thank you,

Doctors Without Borders ‘Be There 1st’ team
