Dear Friends,

Thanks to all of you, we've had a great Dravet Syndrome Awareness Month so far! From Dye It For Dravet, to Remembrance Day and more, our community has come together to recognize Dravet syndrome and share the importance of research funding. We are thankful for everyone's support and appreciate your participation.

While we're getting close, the month isn't over yet and there is still a lot that we can do together for these last few weeks of Dravet Syndrome Awareness Month! It's not too late to start your last-minute fundraisers, make your final donations, or share your story one more time so we can end the month strong!

Want more inspiration on how to get involved? Keep reading below!

Thank you,

Dravet Syndrome Foundation

Upcoming Heart to Heart Session

Heart to Heart is a live virtual meet-up scheduled for the last Monday of each month. These sessions are designed to provide a time for you to discuss what is important to you, connect with our community, ask questions, open up about your challenges, share your successes, and meet members of the DSF staff.

We offer both a daytime session and an evening session. Attendees must register to attend these events (separate registrations for each session) but you are welcome to attend BOTH the daytime and the evening sessions (or simply choose one session that works better for you!) Participants must be registered with our DSF Family Network.

Register for the daytime session here.

Register for the evening session here.
