Young Professionals Committee

Making A Difference Through Networking

This dynamic group of emerging leaders provides the Foundation with unique outreach and support by planning fun, hip fundraising events. Young Professionals' activities offer fundraising opportunities for young supporters who often have more energy than income and are eager to put their creativity to use on behalf of those with NF worldwide.

Bowling for Charity at Chelsea Piers

We’d like to thank everyone who came out on February 13th to participate in a fun night of bowling and networking! Your attendance and generous contributions were greatly appreciated. We look forward to many more events to come—continue to check our site for updates. Thanks again for your support in helping to solve the NF puzzle!

4th Annual Young Professionals Benefit

The Young Professional’s 4th Annual Benefit held at Retreat in New York City was a remarkable success. Over one hundred and fifty attendees came out to support— with their help—we raised over $25,000 that will go towards research for the Children’s Tumor Foundation. Public awareness was the important factor of the night—we were able to share knowledge about neurofibromatosis to those unaware of the disorder and also show forth the effort of the Young Professionals commitment and hard work for the Foundation.

Thanks to all of the contributors who donated their goods and services in order to make this event a huge success. We look forward to next year’s annual benefit and hope that you’ll join us again!
