The Cooley's Anemia Foundation is dedicated to serving people afflicted with various forms of thalassemia, most notably the major form of this genetic blood disease, Cooley's anemia/thalassemia major.
Our mission is advancing the treatment and cure for this fatal blood disease, enhancing the quality of life of patients and educating the medical profession, trait carriers and the public about Cooley's anemia/thalassemia major.
The event organizers are asking guests to help raise money for two selected charities: “Cooley’s Anemia Foundation” which funds medical research and education to benefit individuals living with the genetic blood disorder, thalassemia, and “A Chance in Life -The Village of Staten Island Program,” a US-based program in New York City for forgotten youth dedicated to providing shelter, education, and leadership development for at-risk youth.
This week’s spotlight is all about Team Ficarra. Talk about longevity – the Ficarra family is one of the founders of the Cooley’s Anemia Foundation!
The Spotlight is on Maria Saradpon’s Team CAF California, who shares her top tips to fundraising success.
