June 1 – 30, 2024
We are excited to kick off our 5th annual virtual physical family challenge to promote healthy lifestyles while raising money to help find therapies and cures for those living with GRI Disorders.
100% of Get Moving for GRI revenue will go to grants for research projects that will help us achieve our goal of treatments and cures by the end of this decade!
Get fit while helping to find treatments and cures for GRI Disorders!
- Thanks to your support, CureGRIN has awarded $898,460 in funding to support 9 critical research projects. This funding istesting promising drugs and gene therapies, seeking to identify biomarkers in blood, and to using predictive modeling to better understand individual variants.
- Every dollar raised through Get Moving for GRI 2024 will go fund research projects that help us reach our goal of treatments and cures by 2030. Every $25,000 raised will allow us to fund one grant.
We’re recommending a fundraising goal of at least $500, but every dollar helps in the search for treatments and cures. Check out our Fundraising Toolkit with tips to help you reach your goal!
