2020 was a year we will never forget. Thanks to this incredible community of dedicated supporters, we pulled through the most difficult year most of us have experienced. FRAXA Research Foundation set an ambitious goal of raising $750,000 during the last 2 months of 2020. We knew that it would require all hands on deck. We also knew that those of you who hold our mission close to your hearts would rise to the challenge. The response we received was beyond what we could have hoped.
FRAXA’s 2020 year-end annual appeal raised $777,945 for Fragile X research, bringing total contributions for the year to $1,425,000.
What a fabulous way to ring in the New Year! Despite the pandemic, total donations topped the previous year. This will allow us to offer over $1 million in funding to dedicated research teams who are on the search for an effective treatments and ultimately a cure.
As you may know, the deadline to be considered for FRAXA research fellowships is February 1. Clinical trial proposals are welcome anytime throughout the year. We look forward to having our committee of scientists review all the promising proposals and to announcing new FRAXA research grants starting in early April.
We could not do this work without you. We begin 2021 filled with gratitude and determination. Thank You!
