We Owe Everything To YOU!! Thank You So Much!!

GREAT NEWS!! We finished 2019, having raised a total of $870,706.64 compared to our 2018 year end of $658,627.43. That is a difference of $212,079.21 or 32%. 

Our year end match-my-gift fund-raiser raised $325,142.88 com-pared $287,293.87 last year. Our anonymous donor matched all gifts up to $150,000.00 last year and raised that to $200,000.00 this year. After his or her match, we raised 20% more on our year end fundraiser than we did last year. All these numbers are wonderful and we can't thank you enough.

Remember, our world renowned all-volunteer Scientific Advisory Board will carefully study and rank the several dozen scientific proposals we have received from all over the world. They will help us support only the very best proposals that they rate as Excel-lent and Very Promising (EVP). We have never had the opportunity to support as many of these EVP proposals as we will this year, with your help. 

Every year, we make great prog-ress in getting ever closer to that cure. This could be the year that a great breakthrough happens. Thank you again for your kind generosity!
