A Big Win and a Big Thank You!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted and worked to get votes in the recent Chase Community Giving program. Because of you, 1p36 Deletion Support & Awareness won $25,000! It is the largest donation/grant that 1p36 DSA has recieved to date. The money will go a long way in helping children and adults affected by 1p36 Deletion Syndrome.
We finished the contest at 85th place with 1,493 votes, well within the top 100 charities who will share in over 3 million dollars of grant money.
1p36 DSA's mission is to help individuals with 1p36 Deletion Syndrome by providing support and education to families and caregivers and by working to increase awareness of the syndrome. Winning the grant from Chase means some ideas on how to achieve our mission will become a reality.
We'll be asking you to give us input in the next couple of months about what things you would like 1p36 DSA to be doing to work toward its mission. But you don't have to wait for us to ask! If you have an idea or a question, please email us at info@1p36dsa.org. We may not be able to implement every suggestion we get but we would love to hear from you!
So thank you to Chase for this giving us this opportunity to obtain a grant. And, thank you to all our wonderful supporters for making sure that we got it! We did it!

I am soooooo happy you won this. 1p36 deserves to be brought to the forefront. Our little and big 1p36ers and all the undiagnosed deserve the recognition of their every day battles. Congratulations!
