Lyme Connection is an all-volunteer organization based in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Our mission is to make the community a healthier place by preventing tick-borne diseases and supporting patients and their families. We have been a vital part of our community for over fifteen years.

Lyme Connection volunteers participate in health fairs and community events, visit schools and corporations teaching the BLAST Tickborne Disease Prevention Program tips. Protecting community members and pets from contracting tickborne diseases is one of the primary goals of our organization.

Your gifts help us achieve our mission of tick-borne illness prevention and patient support. We are building a network of caring individuals who recognize the serious impact these diseases are having on our community and are ready to make a difference. Lyme Connection events are provided free of charge thanks to your generous donations.
