New Strategic Plan Progress Page!

  We're excited to share that we’ve launched a new Strategic Plan Progress page on our website—a dedicated space where our community can see how the Foundation is advancing the goals we set in our 2025–2028 Strategic Plan.

The page tracks key milestones and performance highlights across our priority areas—research, education, support, advocacy, engagement and awareness, and revenue and volunteers. Updated twice a year, it provides a clear view of the progress we’re making toward our shared goals.

It also reflects the commitment to transparency and accountability that we made in our strategic plan—to keep patients, caregivers, researchers, and supporters informed of our progress. Most importantly, it demonstrates how our community’s support is driving advancements toward cures and improving lives.
