Description

I'm reaching out on behalf of debra of America, the only national nonprofit that provides support and services to those affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) — a rare, life-threatening genetic condition often called “the worst disease you’ve never heard of.” This devastating disorder makes the skin as fragile as a butterfly’s wings, causing it to tear and blister at the slightest touch. 
 
On October 26th, we will be hosting the 2024 debra of America Benefit at the iconic SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. This annual event brings together generous donors and supporters to raise much-needed funds for our programs. We invite you to be a part of this special evening by donating an auction item or experience. Your contribution will not only enhance our auction but will directly support individuals and families who endure unimaginable daily pain and challenges due to EB. 
 
Founded in 1980, debra of America is dedicated to improving the quality of life for those living with EB while advancing research toward a cure. Over the years, we have been able to expand our programs to provide critical services such as wound care supply assistance, funding for groundbreaking research, and advocating for better healthcare policies. Our work has always been driven by the belief that “the cost of doing nothing is too great,” and through the support of generous individuals and organizations, we continue to make progress in our fight against this cruel disease. 
 
Thank you for considering this request. If you have any questions or would like to discuss potential donations, please feel free to contact me directly.
