Drive Collaboration
Together, a cure comes sooner. We collaborate with families, researchers, academic institutions, regulators, and bio-technology companies.
Increase Awareness
The more people who know about Sanfilippo, the more progress that happens to find a cure. So we help elevate awareness of Sanfilippo.
Raise Funds
We set ambitious annual fundraising goals in order to fund research for every kind of Sanfilippo and to dictate and accelerate the pace of research.
Support/Unite Families
Cure Sanfilippo connects families globally with the latest information on current research, as well as provides support for fundraising and caring for their children.
Cure Sanfilippo Foundation has come to represent a collection of Sanfilippo families (more than 80 globally and growing) and friends/supporters from across the country fighting to save our children under a single umbrella.
There’s HOPE for a cure, and that HOPE comes from the ACTION that is being taken from supporters like you, to further this mission to save children, and cure Sanfilippo.
Cure Sanfilippo Foundation is a 501(c)3 Not-For-Profit Organization
All net funding goes to the urgent mission to advance treatment options to treat children with Sanfilippo.
This is led by proactive families of children with Sanfilippo Syndrome and their supporters, who work tirelessly to change the fate and future for these children.
Donations may be tax-deductible.
