Thank you so much for your consideration of support of the Wiedemann-Steiner Syndrome Foundation and its Quadrathlon. The 10th Annual WSS Foundation Kids Quadrathlon (formerly Triathlon) is scheduled for June 7, 2026 and we would love to partner with your business. We have sponsorships available between starting at $150. Our financial goal for the 10th Annual WSS Foundation Kids Quadrathlon is to raise $50,000 for the Foundation. 

​

With the help of donors like yourselves, the Foundation has just awarded four, $90,000 grants, one for a natural history study completed by Dr. Rowena Ng and Dr. Jacqueline Harris of Kennedy Krieger and three for cell-line development to Igor Ulitsky of the Weisman Institute for Science, Dr. Jimena Andersen at Emory and Dr. Arboleda at UCLA. Each of these projects will take place over the next two years and are crucial building blocks towards learning more about WSS and developing treatments for those with WSS. Additionally, we will be partnering with Dr. Hans Bjornsson for further research on the mouse model he formerly created with the help of Dr. Tinna Reynisdottir and JAX Labs proving that WSS is treatable post-natally. The Foundation is thrilled to have increased interest in WSS by key researchers and thus more awareness which ultimately benefits our entire WSS community. We are at a pivotal time in the Foundation’s advancement and our donors are a key role in its momentum. While research is a huge component of the Foundation’s efforts, especially financially, the Foundation is also continually working to support and educate those impacted by WSS. The WSS Foundation will continue to support our WSS community in 2026 with its speaker’s series program, onboarding program where newly diagnosed families are provided direction on next steps to take and connected with valuable resources, newly designed and launched website, quarterly newsletter, opportunities to gather and 2026 International Family Conference in October.
