2023 Smith-Kingsmore Syndrome Awareness Day
Sunniest Day of Hope
SKS Foundation is celebrating our 4th Global SKS Awareness Day on August 15!
Join our fundraising match this August, thanks to one of our SKS families who has generously offered our community the LARGEST matching gift in our 4-year history!
Throughout the month of August, if we can raise $30,000 together, SKS Foundation will receive an ADDITIONAL $30,000 match from the family, raising a total of $60,000 we can use to advance science!
How can you get involved and participate in SKS Awareness Day?
- Share your family’s story on social media throughout the month of August
- Create your own fundraiser to rally your friends and family to join our efforts
- Make a gift toward the match
Mark your calendar for August 15th when our community will wear our SKS gear (available at the SKS Store) and share our stories so that our tiny community’s mighty voices can be heard around the world!
