We’re celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the ASF Walk
The ASF Walk has raised $19.5 million since 1999. Those funds have made an enormous impact on the lives of those impacted by Angelman syndrome. From the ASF Clinics and groundbreaking research to the ASF Family Fund and free counseling services!
Join us to celebrate the trail blazers in the AS community who started a ripple of impact. We will raise funds to support the ASF mission and have a great time doing it.
The very first ASF Walk was coordinated by neighbors of an Angelman family. Al and Barbara Kelkoff convinced Eileen and Tom Braun, daughter of Kaitlin who is diagnosed with AS, that a walk would be a great way to raise money for Angelman research, create community and raise awareness.
The initial even raised $26,000 and hosted people from 5 states around the Chicago area.
