NOFAS Honors FASD Leaders and Hosts Affiliates

June 20, 2011  |   News   |     |   Comments Off

Prominent researcher Dr. Phil May, Senator Jeff Bingaman, Rep. Don Young and advocate Morgan Fawcett headline this year’s annual NOFAS Leadership Awards Benefit in Washington, D.C. Hosted by Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Tom and Linda Daschle, the event celebrates outstanding achievements in FASD and boosts momentum for the cause. It is also the most important fundraising event of the year for NOFAS with proceeds going to prevention and education initiatives and support services for children and adults living with FASD.

The 29-member NOFAS Affiliate Network also meets this week in Washington to discuss coalition initiatives and expand communication among member organizations. The network was founded in 2001 and seeks to bring a unified voice to the call for increased recognition for people with FASD and attention to the risk of birth defects linked to alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Advocates will also be meeting with their Congressional delegations to urge greater attention and investment for FASD research and public health measures.
