The KBG Foundation was our March 2022 Jean Day Donation recipient.  The donation was inspired by a local Princeton family, whose son recently shared their journey with the Shaw Local News network, Ryne Chlum.

The KBG Foundation was founded in June 2015.

WHAT IS KBG SYNDROME?

KBG syndrome is a rare autsomal dominant condition that is present at birth. If one parent has it, chances are 50/50 of any offspring also having the condition. Over 400 people worldwide have been diagnosed with this condition and many more are being diagnosed each year.  June 11th, 2022 is International KBG Awareness Day.  You may donate to this organization at this link on their website:  https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=K5MEUPPPLBQBA
