Announcing a New Fundraising Campaign to Support PSC Patients

Children's PSC Foundation has identified numerous research opportunities that could meaningfully help PSC patients, and we are moving to support as many of those opportunities as possible.  A donor who is aware of our work has offered a fundraising challenge: this donor intends to match every dollar raised by Children's PSC Foundation through the end of May 2023 up to $250,000!!  This is an extremely generous and exciting level of support that could change the outcome for PSC patients.  Every dollar you provide will be worth two dollars to the foundation.  But we need to move quickly to achieve the full level of donor matching before the end of May 2023.

Our Strategy to Help PSC Patients

Children's PSC Foundation is focused on pursuing and supporting three core areas of research that will help PSC patients and ultimately lead to a cure:

1. Better understanding why oral vancomycin is an effective treatment for some PSC patients.  We are interested in exploring and understanding the mechanisms of action of oral vancomycin for PSC patients to essentially "reverse engineer" what oral vancomycin is doing to make patients better.  Through this understanding, we believe we can help find ways to identify and better target the underlying cause of PSC.  
2. Identifying additional or better treatments for PSC to optimize the long term health of PSC patients.
3. Exploring new approaches to address PSC that might lead to a cure.

This strategy has helped us to identify or help create numerous current or potential projects that we are directly supporting or hope to support.  These projects include:

• A double blind placebo controlled trial of oral vancomycin for PSC
• A prospective clinical trial of Hymecromone for PSC
• A Pilot Clinical Trial of Microbiota Transplant Therapy (MTT) for PSC
• New ways to understand the microbiome of PSC patients for better targeted treatments

Your contribution will make a difference in the lives of people living with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC).  The Children's PSC Foundation is an all volunteer organization - we have no paid staff - and other than required, minor administration expenses (tax filings, etc.) all funds raised by the Children's PSC Foundation go directly to research.  Any personal expenses in support of our work (travel to conferences, etc.) are paid for personally by our volunteers, not your contributions.  All of our volunteers are also contributors to the foundation.

Your gift is tax deductible. Children’s PSC Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt entity pursuant to Section 501(c)3 Federal Tax ID # 26-4814733.
