Description
The Genesis Fund is a small non-profit organization that raises money for the specialized care and treatment of New England area children born with birth defects, genetic diseases and mental retardation. The Genesis Fund primarily supports the National Birth Defects Center, Therapy & the Performing Arts Programs and the Pregnancy Exposure InfoLine.
Through a variety of fund raising events, private and corporate contributions, The Genesis Fund has raised over $20 million dollars since it began 25 years ago. Our primary responsibility is to coordinate events including a ski weekend, several golf tournaments, and a celebrity fishing tournament. Cultivation of sponsors and donors is an important goal as well.
