We are finally moving into our new offices!!! Our new address is 2414 Morris Avenue, Suite 110, Union, NJ 07083. The phone numbers will stay the same.
We are all so excited. Our offices are modest, but not far from our previous affices, and we can afford them. Our new landlord painted them a soft yellow and they put in green carpeting. It has lots of windows. New Beginnings....

Other News:
Unfortunately, Oprah’s Angel Network turned us down. Thank you for writing and calling, but they get so many requests they were not able to help us.

We have a big fundraiser planned for June 17th. On Saturday evening, June 17th, CARES Foundation, Inc. will present its event "Celebrating Five Years of Saving Our Babies" at the Maplewood Country Club in Maplewood NJ, just outside New York City. The event will honor former Governor Donald DiFrancesco. The honorary chairs are Former Governor Thomas Kean (head of the 9/11 commission), former Governor Brendan Byrne, Former Governor and current NJ Senate president, Richard Codey, US Senator Frank Lautenberg, and several other state Senators and an Assemblyman.

The evening promises to be an exciting one, featuring casino games, cocktails, buffet dinner and dessert, silent and live auctions and a raffle.

We are pleased to honor Governor DiFrancesco for signing an executive order five years ago that dramatically expanded newborn screening including CAH in New Jersey and saved hundreds of babies from death, severe mental retardation, or devastating disability by being able to detect genetic metabolic and endocrine diseases and administer early intervention. We are forever grateful to the Governor for saving our children and giving them a healthy start at life.

We need help from you. If you can help us in obtaining silent and live auction items, sponsors for the event and if you live nearby and come, please let us know.

We need to raise funds to help us defray the costs of rebuilding and to provide funds for our research grants. In June, we are obligated to provide $70,000 to the NIH to support the CAH clinical trials.

I know many of you have benefitted from the clinical trial at the NIH. We need to continue our grant to NIH, and need this event to be successful in order to fund it.

We are also planning a fundraiser in CO, just outside Denver for July 22nd. We will need some help for this event as well.
Again, let me know if you can help!

Our Spring newsletter is delayed to late summer due to the fire and rebuilding. It will have articles on use of the pump for CAH, nonclassical 3-beta in adult women, and much more...
Thank you for all of your support.
Blessings,
Kelly
