Third Slam Dunks for Sam (2021? Fingers Crossed)

We remain cautiously optimistic that we will rebound from the pandemic soon and be able to gather together. We hope to host our third Slam Dunks for Sam event in the fall of 2021 or spring 2022. We’ll keep you posted.

 

 

 


Slam Dunks for Sam 2017

Please join us for our second annual event to promote awareness of APS Type 1 and to raise funds for The APS Type 1 Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation. On May 20, 2017, we’ll spend a couple hours with fun basketball contests, a photo booth, balloon art, food carts, a silent auction, and just plain fun. Last year, thanks to your overwhelming generosity, we shattered our $50,000 fundraising goal. With your help, the Foundation funded a critical $100,000 research grant, is organizing and hosting a second international symposium this summer for patients, families and researchers, and is creating a rare disease registry. This year, we aim to take another big step forward towards a cure. We hope you’ll join us.

 

 

 

 

 


Slam Dunks for Sam 2016

InvitationIn our efforts to raise awareness and find a cure for APS-1, we’ve set a goal of raising $50,000 for The APS Type 1 Foundation in 2016. This is enough to fund a single research grant through NORD, the National Organization for Rare Disorders. Through NORD, the foundation has funded approximately $400,000 in research grants over the last 10 years.

To do this, we’re planning “Slam Dunks for Samantha,” our first annual friends and family fundraising event. To celebrate Samantha’s (and Brent’s) love for basketball, please join us for an afternoon of hoops and dribbles, arts and crafts, food and drink, a silent auction and just plain fun. To register for this great event, please click here. Your donation is tax deductible as proceeds will benefit The APS Type 1 Foundation. Your support means the world to us.
