Foundation Volunteers Paved the Way to Many Successes in 2023!
Getting involved with others in the Coats' Disease community provides a sense of support, understanding, and shared determination to raise awareness and find new ways to support those affected by this rare eye condition. In 2023, we have been so fortunate to have had many volunteers help raise awareness and fundraise through various events. THANK YOU to all of our volunteers this past year. We couldn't do what we do without you.
