Friends of FSH Research
depends on private
donations from individuals
and corporations. Donations are accepted throughout the year as well as at our annual fund raising dinner and auction. To learn more about the "FiSHing for a Cure" auction, visit our AUCTION page
The table below charts the grants that have been provided to FSHD researchers since the inception of this organization. We have been able to provide such funding only because of you. Each and every grant request is carefully scrutinized by our Advisory Board to ensure that we get the biggest return on our investment. So far we have been able to provide just over $1.3 million for research, with future commitments of another $500,000. Of course to meet those commitments, we need to continue our Annual Auction, which provides most all of the funding.
