Dear Friends, One lesson we learned from the pandemic is how much getting together with the community matters. Don't get us wrong — We love interacting with you online. But every two years, the Dravet syndrome community gathers together because nothing can replace the friendships, information sharing, or connections that take place when we're in the same room. This is why we planned a 3-day DSF Family & Professional Conference this June in Fort Worth, Texas: To make sure that magic happens. The only thing missing is your registration. (Unless, of course, you've already registered. In that case, turn to your friends in the Dravet syndrome community and ask, "What are you waiting for?") If you need help getting to this biennial conference, apply for our family scholarship TODAY to make sure you can take part in this event. We don't want you to miss out because we don't want to miss you. So come together with your community and walk away with new relationships, ideas, and support. We can't wait to greet you in Texas. Warmly, Dravet Syndrome Foundation | |
What Are YOU Waiting For? | |
We told your Dravet syndrome community friends in our opening letter to ask you this question: What are you waiting for? But we're asking you, too. Our DSF Conference Scholarship Program offers financial support to individuals and/or families to attend the 2022 Biennial DSF Family & Professional Conference in Fort Worth, Texas. We want to make sure as many families as possible can attend this special event. There are a limited number of scholarships available, so we encourage you to apply TODAY so you don't miss out on this opportunity. | |
