Description

PLEASE join us at the 14th local fundraiser for PRISMS, October 1st, 6-9. For the 4th year, we will host at Chicken N Pickle! We are so excited to spend time with you and raise funds for PRISMS which is so near and dear to us!

Last year, we raised over $25,000 with about 150 participants in attendance. We are raising funds so that PRISMS can continue its efforts to spread awareness, increase education, and further research on Smith-Magenis syndrome - a rare genetic disorder. Since the vast majority of the medical community is unfamiliar with SMS and fail to recognize its symptoms, we are compelled to do all we can to raise awareness of SMS so that other families can find a diagnosis faster, and access the support and education PRISMS offers sooner.  

A little more about Smith Magenis Syndrome (SMS): Although the exact incidence is not known, it is estimated that SMS occurs in 1 out of 25,000 to 1 out of 15,000 births resulting in significant developmental delay, sleep disorder, and behavior and learning challenges.

 A little more about PRISMS (Parents and Researchers Interested in Smith-Magenis Syndrome): an organization that families affected by SMS can turn to for support, knowledge, and understanding about the struggles and joys unique to our lives.  PRISMS is dedicated to providing information and support to families, sponsoring research and fostering partnerships with professionals to increase awareness and understanding of Smith-Magenis syndrome.  

 Thank you in advance for helping us raise funds for PRISMS and awareness for Smith-Magenis syndrome!
