Why Donate To AFFTER?
AFFTER continues to
grow and prosper as a not-for-profit organization, just as awareness of
fibromyalgia has spread throughout the general population. Recent TV commercials
about fibromyalgia have caused people to seek a diagnosis for their myriad of
symptoms; they are seeking information and support. AFFTER is proud to be the
one that so many turn to. Our presence and credibility within the medical and
fibromyalgia communities are undisputed as we celebrate our 12th year as a
501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
AFFTER is on a mission to help those affected by fibromyalgia. We continue to
advocate and create awareness for fibromyalgia; provide educational materials
for the patient population, medical community and the general public; and
coordinate charitable events to fund fibromyalgia research, including some of
our own.
Results of our research were the subject of abstract presentations at the annual
conference of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Our 5k Charitable Event in 2009 was fruitful, as was the “Hope Rocks” pageant in
2010. AFFTER keeps momentum going into 2011 with two events; “Miss Hope”
charitable pageant in May to celebrate Fibromyalgia Awareness Day, and AFFTER’s
“Hope Relay for Fibromyalgia” in August. Proceeds from these events go directly
into an account designated specifically tor research.
Donations entrusted to AFFTER are used wisely and are necessary for us to
operate. AFFTER is passionate about our cause. We offer ongoing support and
education to keep you informed of research news, updates from the medical
community and educational materials from a variety of sources. Our on-line news
groups have been helping to connect and support people from around the globe for
almost a decade.
Facebook has enabled us to reach out to even more people in recent months.
Please join AFFTER in our quest to make a difference in the lives of those with
fibromyalgia!
