Past beNeFits

Enjoy the recap below of beNeFit VII!

At the beNeFit VII gala, you and 1800 other folks demonstrated your amazing support that enabled us to raise more than $5.7 million to fight NF. The funds will continue to support NF Forward (NFForwardDetroit.org) and the Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF.org) to fund critical research to advance a cure for this debilitating disorder. Because of you, we are one step closer to living in a world without NF.

Check out the short video recap of the November's Gala HERE.

This year's 'Strength and Honor Award' was presented to Aidan Fraser.

Aidan is a young man with NF who, despite the magnitude of his challenges, is a gleaming example of the countless ways those living with NF can thrive in life. Aidan inspired everyone in the room that night. As he so eloquently put it:

"I don't know why anything happens the way it does. But... I do know that everything that has happened in my life has made me who I am today and I am proud of the person I am."

HERE is the video of Aidan's powerful story that moved us deeply.

Once again, much gratitude for your generous support. We are consistently humbled by the turnout and results. As our family shared at the gala, fighting NF sometimes feels like trying to boil the ocean. But with you standing alongside us and contributing toward a cure, that ocean seems a little smaller.
