The International 22q Foundation is celebrating its 15th Anniversary!
2003 – 2018
We are celebrating 15 years of family support – supporting everything from advocacy to awareness to education to family networks to care and research. The International 22q11.2 Foundation has been working non-stop for you and with you for the past 15 years! Help us celebrate throughout 2018!
Over the last fifteen years, the International 22q11.2 Foundation has been successful in helping thousands of families through resources, valuable connections with top experts, creating awareness days, supporting research, and engaging with other support groups for advocacy and to deliver the most cutting edge information related to 22q. As we approach the next fifteen years, we want to expand our footprint and make 22q a household name.
