RECENT EVENT: ELEVEN LAKES BREWERY FUNDRAISER
Our first IDEA fundraiser—a huge success! We are thrilled to share the incredible results of our fundraiser held at Eleven Lakes Brewery, dedicated to supporting local immune deficient children. With the generosity of our community and the enthusiastic participation of attendees, we have raised just under $5500 through silent auction items, raffle baskets, a 50/50 raffle and a donation from Karen’s Cure of the Carolinas. 100% of money raised will directly benefit children battling immune deficiencies, providing them with vital resources and medical support. The event featured live music, delicious food, local vendors and a visit from Santa!
Thank you to all who contributed, from our volunteers to our attendees—your support made a significant impact! Together we’ve made strides in improving the lives of these brave kids and their families. We hope to continue this momentum—so stay tuned for our next event!
RECENT EVENT: DISCOVERY PLACE MUSEUM
When: August 25, 2024
Where: Discovery Place Museum in Charlotte, NC
Who: Over 60 PI Patients and Their Families
Goal: To raise awareness of PI and to educate patients and families so they can take better care of themselves.
After a brief introduction, one of our PI families discussed their patient journey, followed by a Q&A session. Particularly notable was the presence of a new patient family, whose child was recently diagnosed with PI. They had plenty of questions about diagnosis and treatment, which other parents of children with PI in the group helped answer. There was plenty of discussion around 504 plans from seasoned parents, which really helped many other families in the room. The power of parents and education is simply amazing!
This discussion was followed by a brief talk about IDEA Group. We discussed the latest in research including clinical trials, advancements in clinical care, and how patients and families can get involved in advocacy.
Lunch followed, and then children and parents enjoyed the museum until close at 5pm.
We are so thankful to all who attended the event. Connecting with both new families with "seasoned" families alike and helping them through their journey with PI is one of our driving factors. Be on the lookout for more upcoming events!
Special thanks to the Jeffrey Modell Foundation, without whom, this event would not have been possible.
