As parents or relatives of children with OMS, you have the most to gain from donating or raising funds to support research on this formidable problem. Because OMS is an orphan disease, it is less likely that federal, state, or corporate agencies will prioritize funds for OMS research. So it is up to you; you can and do make a difference.

We would like to express our appreciation to the following families (listed alphabetically) for their donations of $500 or more or successful fund-raising efforts:

Bob and Kim Brenengen and The George L. Shields Foundation
Karen M. Brewer
Richard L. and Susan J. Brewer
Brendan and Brenda Brosnan
Peter and Sandra Cappas
Brian and Eileen Couri and The CINN Foundation
Ann S. Fay
Patricia B. Fay
Kory and Rory Hunter
Gigi Jordan and Pridecare, Inc.

Elizabeth A. Rummel Trust
David and Barbara Salamon
Sallie Mae Fund
Frederick and Kathryn Snyder
Robert L. Trimpl
Tony and Patty Tzoubris

We do encourage families to raise funds in any way they can. Perhaps you are more comfortable with a bake sale, sponsoring a race, soliciting from co-workers or church members, or selling t-shirts.
