Let our dreams take flight in the New Year! I wish you, your family and friends the best year ever. As we pursue our hopes and dreams, may 2023 bring us much success and may our journey together be wonderful and gratifying. Let’s make this happen. Together, we can reach new heights. Are you with us?
We all know that helping others helps us feel good. It’s good for our mental and physical health. Fundraising is a great way to help those affected by ectodermal dysplasias and raise awareness for the National Foundation for Ectodermal Dysplasias (NFED), an organization that is doing impactful work in research, advocacy, support and treatment.
However, we cannot do this alone. We need your help. Will you give of your time, talents, and/or treasure?
