Dear Family and Friends,

Wow…can you feel the love?!

It is a busy end of year for PWSA with more stupendous fundraising
efforts soon to occur and some still wrapping up after occurring in
October. We hope you can attend an event if it's in your area as you,
your family and friends are all invited. And to those who just
participated in an event, thank you!

I was recently asked if these efforts really do make a difference for
PWSA and I can tell you the answer is a resounding YES! Please
support the volunteers who are making these activities possible and
who are doing what they can to ensure we have a strong organization
that provides and funds top-notch services, support and research for
you and our loved ones who have PWS; as well as who are raising more
awareness of PWS. It makes a difference!
