We raise funds for research and increase awareness through various events, including Serving Awareness Meals, Golf outings, Basket raffles and community events. We host a biannual symposium with researchers, physicians, patients, families and caretakers from around the world to educate and bring the larger APS community together. The foundation also facilitates quarterly conference calls between leading APS researchers from around the world to foster collaboration so that the latest knowledge and best treatments for all those afflicted with APS Type 1 are shared. We hope one day there will be a cure.
