This Giving Tuesday, AGSAA is focusing its flash fundraising drive to accelerate life-saving Early Identification and Newborn Screening Programs in development.

Identifying AGS early, whether at birth with an effective and accurate Newborn Screening or through improved awareness and diagnostic criteria, gives affected families around the world the best opportunity to prevent disease or intervene ASAP. It also raises and amplifies the profile of our disease to encourage more focused support from collaborators, better funding opportunities, more scientific and research breakthroughs, and facilitate the ongoing development of better treatment options. It will help us to shine a big, bright undeniable light to highlight the depth of our community and its current needs, to make the future better for all families living with AGS.

There are so many ways AGS-affected families, our allies, and anyone wishing to support our work can give on this exciting global day of generosity.

To give time and skill, please email us any time at info@agsaa.org. To donate money, we have a few options: Instagram; Facebook - one time or monthly (to qualify for Meta’s giving season second month match); or direct via AGSAA. To give support or voice, please consider sharing a heartfelt and personal appeal on social media and/or directly to your contacts to build awareness around the importance and urgency of these vital programs."If we had an #agsnbs..." would be a great convo starter for people who care about you to understand exactly why we need this support.
