Imagine changing the future for hundreds of families who have a child with a rare genetic condition that typically impacts every cell in their body, not just in one organ in the body, but often their entire human system. Imagine advocating, networking, taking part in cutting edge research, and sharing the great work of Project 8p. Well, let's turn visions into realities -- you can become a force for good by joining the board of Project 8p!
Project 8p is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is researching 8p disorders to find treatment options and give meaningful answers to those affected and their families. We are patient-led. Currently, there is no cure for 8p disorders, nor is there a standard course of treatment. Project 8p is the only organization dedicated to funding research to uncover treatment for chromosome 8p disorder.
Right now, science does not have the means to treat this condition. The good news is that the scientific community is making substantial progress and together with Project 8p, we are going to do everything we can to help.
We are currently seeking new board members to add to our current board of experts and caring individuals: https://project8p.org/leadership/
If you have any one or more of the following specialties, please consider joining our board of directors and changing the life of a child and his/her family:
Fundraising
Marketing/Communications/Social media
You don't need to be an expert, or even know a lot about 8p....you just need to be a good human and care about children. We can teach you what you need to know and bring you into this wonderful rare disease community.More opportunities with PROJECT 8P FOUNDATION
