RSS/SGA Education & Research Fund.

We have 300+ RSS/SGA families that are members of MAGIC. In 2004, 10% of our families (32) "walked" and raised a huge total of $50,600.82 – 50% being donated to MAGIC for convention expenses and 50% being donated to the RSS/SGA Education & Research Fund.

Goal for 2005: 75 participating families to raise $75,000 total

Where does the money we raise go?

50% of the walkathon monies will be put in our RSS/SGA Education & Research fund (see below) and 50% will be used to cover costs for Convention 2006.

What are the goals of the RSS/SGA Education & Research Fund?

To cover distribution costs of our upcoming RSS/SGA Guidebook (we have already raised the money for production & printing). We would like to raise enough funds to allow us to provide Guidebooks free to all members of MAGIC and do a direct mail campaign to pediatric endocrinologists. Reduced price copies will be available to non-members.

To provide a financial grant allowing Dr. Harbison to hire additional statistician and writer hours, so she may complete two RSS/SGA studies for publication by the end of 2006. (We already have raised $10,000 towards this grant; we would like to provide a $20,000 grant.)

To cover all costs associated with a joint study/survey of RSS/SGA children sponsored by MAGIC and being authored by Drs. Harbison, Stanhope and Toumba. The physicians will donate their time. We will publish at least one article from this research.
