We can't believe that the 6th annual Fighting H.A.R.D. "Fore" the Kids Golf Outing is less than 1 week away! 🥳 None of this would be possible without the support of our amazing event sponsors: Howell P.B.A., Datavant, and Hackensack Meridian Health! We are so grateful for your continued support. Thank you for helping children with rare diseases and chronic illnesses to know they are not alone! It's "Fore" the Kids! 💜

HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to make yesterday’s clothing drive such a great success! It was a VERY hot day but our wonderful volunteers and foundation kids really worked HARD to make it amazing! Shout out to Kaylee Mescal and fam who hosted her own clothing drive in Hazlet and rented a U-Haul to deliver more than 50 bags! And to the wonderful Breden Family who also collected in their town and brought three carloads! To The Hansen Family who also collected in Point Pleasant and made several trips to deliver all the goods, The Fleming Family for all their help and support, The Jaochim family (Gianna and Jesse really helped to make the day super special, to the Colonna Family (Luke is director of this event and Remi was a HUGE help!), all of the wonderful volunteers, board members, dear friends and family, and to every single person who donated one bag or ten! The greatest part of this annual event is having everyone come together to support the foundation and to help these Fighting HARD Families to know they are not alone! We are so grateful! Here are just a few pictures from the day! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💜

Check it out! We have an amazing new feature on our website! This was an initiative by students at Rutgers in the Industry Pharmacists Organization (IPhO) led by the Community Service Chair, Erache Rivera, to help raise awareness for rare diseases and chronic illnesses. These students created educational videos about conditions that affect many of our Fighting H.A.R.D. rockstars! Check out https://www.fightinghardfoundation.org/shareable-awareness-videos.html to see them.

We'd like to thank the incredible students involved in this IPhO and Fighting H.A.R.D. Foundation initiative: Erache Rivera, Anumeha Haldar, Faiza Skaik, Nick DeAngelis, Mateen Abbasi, Nishi Patel, Unnati Patel, Princy Patel, Isabelle Kim, Tiffany Prasad, Puja Patel, Casey Liu, Sophia Mendoza, Marina Martell, Catalina Vasquez, Rhea Sethi, Enoch Adepoju, Danielle Joanne Ortiz, Sravya Sankisa, Isha Patel, and Katrina Lanese. Thank you for Fighting H.A.R.D. with us!
