We hope you have seen PANDAS Network as a source and support to families & researchers.
PANDAS PANS Efforts to MOVE US FORWARD
During the pandemic, we were able to re-imagine our website due to the gift from a major donor who worked to ensure our stability. Also, scientists, doctors and families came forward in a variety of ways to help our nonprofit. Two recovering PANDAS-PANS teens created Fbook Fundraisers (thank you, Sadie and Emily), and also 21 separate families ran Fbook Fundraisers. We made an effort to increase this disease model's presence and relevance with the following:
We are now at 80% of our goal to fund two research grants in 2023. Each grant must be a minimum of fifty-thousand dollars to initiate and complete in a laboratory setting. Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard, we will keep pushing!
Below are three new remarkable nonprofits created by resilient families despite their own loss and difficulty due to PANDAS-PANS. Please read about each nonprofit and learn about their significant scientific and clinical efforts for worldwide recognition for an illness that deserves major national funding.
The Pandemic was really hard and we are all recalibrating how we proceed with greatest impact in 2023. PANDAS Network can't meet every need so we are grateful there are many advances in this, currently, rare disease field. It is exactly what we all want -- more Awareness & Empowerment!
Thank you. Stay Well, Be Happy. We are here, especially, for new families who need some guidance. Happy 2023. With Respect and Admiration,
Warmly, The PANDAS Network Board of Directors
