Partner with RISE for LCHAD to fuel research, elevate awareness, and make a measurable impact at our inaugural gala.
LCHAD is a rare, life-threatening metabolic disorder affecting approximately 2,000 individuals in the U.S. Unfortunately, our daughter Jillian is one of them.
RISE for LCHAD was founded in honor of Jillian, whose strength drives our mission to accelerate research and improve outcomes. Rare shouldn't mean overlooked.
Fueling Hope is more than a gala — it is an awareness platform, a caregiver tribute, and a call to action to invest in medical research and pharmaceutical development.
RISE for LCHAD supports research led by Dr. Jerry Vockley, a world-renowned metabolic specialist, at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Your generous support would fund:
Next-generation FAOD therapy improving current treatment limitations
Breakthrough mitochondrial research improving cellular energy
Gene therapy aimed at correcting the underlying genetic defect
Choose a level that fits your organization and make a lasting impact.
