Here's a question for you:

Would you try to win the Indy 500 with a really great car, but only drive about half as fast as it's capable of going? You would eventually cross the finish line, but you'd have got there much faster if you had used all your resources.

That's how our Sunset on Friedreich's Ataxia fundraising dinners have been. Each of the past two years we have had just over 100 enthusiastic, generous people, and we've raised over $40,000 each year! But we can seat at least 175 at Rosenblum, and our generous sponsors are prepared to feed as many people as we have, all for free. So imagine how much we could raise - and how much faster we could cross the finish line to a cure - if we filled the house.

So we're asking you to do two things today:

First - SAVE THE DATE : mark your calendars for August 4

Second - SPREAD THE WORD

Think about putting a group together. We will be offering group ticket discounts.

Between now and August, please SPREAD THE WORD . Imagine the possibilities - and help us make them happen.
