HDSA has long been recognized as the leader in the care and cure of
HD. From the handful of volunteers assembled by Marjorie Guthrie
in the 1970’s, HDSA has grown impressively in just 35 years to a $10
million organization with a national presence in research, support and
care. From state to state, individual donors, like you, fund HDSA
programs through direct cash contributions, family funds, lead gifts of
stock and through support of special events such as the HDSA
Celebration of Hope. HDSA receives no direct federal or state support
yet funds almost $3 million in care and $3 million in research programs.
Even in challenging economic times, HDSA has never failed to fulfill its
commitments to researchers or Centers of Excellence for care. Every
dollar contributed funds our HDSA Coalition for the Cure, our Grant
and Fellow recipients, Centers of Excellence, support groups, educational
seminars, statewide conventions, our annual convention, community
outreach programs and so much more. Won’t you consider making your
donation today to any one of HDSA’s research or care initiatives.
Together, we can make this the last generation with HD.
