Global Genes Gifts $100,000 for Rare Diseases
Orange County based Global Genes is giving hope and support to patients and families in their fight against rare diseases. The leading rare and genetic disease advocacy organization just gifted $100,000 to rare disease patient organizations!
The non-profit organization promotes the needs of the rare disease community under a unifying symbol of hope – the Blue Denim Genes Ribbon.
It just announced the winners of its inaugural RARE Patient Impact Grant program. Launched at the 2015 Rare Tribute to Champions of Hope, the nonprofit directs $100,000 in financial support to deserving rare disease foundations and patient advocacy groups providing equipment, resources, and support to rare disease patients and their caregivers.
