The Mitchell and Friends Foundation exists to raise awareness of Mitchell Syndrome, and offer guidance, gifts, and grace to families in need. Your future donation will help this important cause.

Mitchell and Friends is a new organization with no paid employees and limited administrative costs. We’d like to keep a small operational fund of $20,000 from which to run the organization and support families in need. On top of that, we have committed to raising $150,000 over the next two years to support research efforts at Washington University, and another laboratory to be named soon. With these funds, physician-scientists will be researching the cause of and possible treatments of Mitchell Syndrome.

If you’d like to give to this operational fund OR research fund, you can donate directly to The Mitchell and Friends Foundation OR The Mitchell Syndrome Fund at Washington University. (We prefer all donors give to The Mitchell and Friends Foundation, which will allow us to remain in more direct contact with contributors. But the mode of donation is at the donor’s discretion.)
