Rare Disease Day
Worldwide Day of Awareness
Rare Disease Day is an observance held on the last day of February to raise awareness for rare diseases and improve access to treatment and medical representation for individuals with rare diseases and their families.
Annually, A1F partners with local schools and other organizations to spread awareness and create support for those affected.

OTHER WAYS WE GIVE BACK
FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES
Each year we want to find a family in need with a rare disease situation that we can support with a large contribution. The resources provided to the family selected can be flexible to meet their needs.
So far we've donated a variety of disability equipment and other products including; multiple
Tumble Form Adapted chairs, gait trainer walker, supine stander, Bath Otter bathing system, KidKart, special needs car seats, medical supplies, formula, diapers, weighted blankets, and other adaptive wear to local families in need and organizations that support our mission. We want to continue providing these donations to children and families throughout each year.
​
Contact us today if you or someone you know is in need of medical equipment or other resources.
