The Angioma Alliance SoCal Community is organizing our 5th Annual Angioma Alliance Orange County 5k/walk to be held on Sunday September 19, 2021 at Olympiad Park in Mission Viejo. I would like to offer you the opportunity to become a donor for our silent auction to be held during our event.

The event will benefit the non-profit organization Angioma Alliance, the only patient and research organization supporting those affected by cerebral cavernous angiomas.  A cavernous angioma is a raspberry-shaped abnormal blood vessel in the brain that can hemorrhage and cause strokes and seizures in both children and adults. People with hereditary forms of the illness can develop many cavernous angiomas in a lifetime. Currently, brain surgery is the only treatment. Angioma Alliance is working with researchers to develop medications that will prevent hemorrhage and prevent development of more lesions.  

Funds from our event will be used to support Angioma Alliance’s DNA and Tissue bank, a patient registry, an international scientific meeting, and the development of clinical centers of excellence. We are driving research toward a cure!  

Angioma Alliance is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. All donations, including gift-in-kind donations, are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Our federal EIN is 02-0600697. Collectively, our efforts result in a nationwide community bound together by cavernous angioma, but we don’t let that define us, it only empowers us!  For more information about cavernous angioma and Angioma Alliance go to www.angioma.org.
