Every year in May, Angelman Strong events come in many forms—ranging from local walks and runs, tournaments, community gatherings, and awareness campaigns. No matter the format, each event brings families, friends, and supporters together to honor and celebrate individuals with Angelman syndrome.

Angelman Strong events are a powerful celebration of the strength, resilience, and spirit of the Angelman syndrome community. Held annually, these events come in many forms—ranging from local walks and runs to fundraisers, community gatherings, and awareness campaigns. No matter the format, each event brings families, friends, and supporters together to honor individuals with Angelman syndrome and show the world just how strong our community truly is.

Fundraise for Angelman Strong

Funds raised through Angelman Strong Events support critical Angelman research and family support programs that improve the lives of people with Angelman syndrome.

ASF Funded Research has led to therapeutics that are currently in clinical trials. Our family support programs are a life-line for families in finding specialized healthcare, providing funding for therapies, and connecting them with a supportive community that understands their journey.

See our participant toolbox for fundraising & awareness tools. Your efforts will make a lasting impact!
