PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Friends,
Hello and Happy Summer Scleroderma Friends!
Hoping you all are enjoying the summer and that you have time to spend with friends and family.
The Scleroderma Foundation of California is enjoying a very busy summer with our A Million Steps for Scleroderma LA/OC in La Mirada, which was well attended and helped us achieve our fundraising goals. Thank you to all of the talented individuals who made this fundraising event possible.
Our next A Million Steps for Scleroderma San Diego event is on August 17, and "Jim’s 2025 Journey," conducted by our intrepid and ambitious board member, Jim Hines, will take him through much of Italy this year. As always, you can follow his journey through his wife Roberta’s blog on our website.
Registration is now open for our San Diego Patient Education Day on September 6, and we have scheduled our Northern California Patient Education Day on December 6th, with further details and registration coming soon.
Plans are well underway for our 24th Key to A Cure Gala on October 18 at the Marina del Rey Marriott Hotel – please be sure to “save the date.” Additionally, our support groups are ongoing, with more groups forming to enhance scleroderma awareness in our community.
As always, we welcome your interest, ideas, and support.
Let us hear from you!
Laura Fuhrman
President, Board of Directors
The Scleroderma Foundation of California
