Please join us for our 22nd Annual
“Sweetness & Laughter” And See the Light Awards
At 22, the Mathew Forbes Romer Foundation has celebrated wonderful progress in gene therapy clinical trials, education and genetic testing for many affected children and families with fatal genetic diseases of the brain. Still there is so much more to do including earlier detection and expanded treatment availability.
Our “Sweetness & Laughter” Gala symbolizes how laughter helps these sweet children and their families cope with this devastation.
