You’re invited to a summer BBQ and fundraiser in a beautiful lakeside setting surrounded by green mountains.A Chance for Chase is an all-day, family fun event focused on raising donations to help a local family of five whose youngest has recently been diagnosed with a very rare genetic disorder: Phelan-McDermid Syndrome. This fundraiser will allow our family to attend the 2014 PMSF International Conference in Orlando, FL. With a condition so rare, this conference allows us to learn and connect with other families and get updates on research and tools to help give Chase the life he deserves.
