2025 In Pursuit of a Cure Day of Giving

WHEN
September 16, 2025 at 12:00am - September 17, 2025 Eastern Time (US & Canada)

Join us Tuesday, September 16 for Day of Giving

The 2025 In Pursuit of a Cure campaign is underway — and this year marks a truly special milestone: 35 years since the first-ever fundraiser for FOP research, hosted by the family of Jud Bogard. Since 1990, families like the Bogards have helped raise millions for research — fueling major breakthroughs, including the first approved treatment for FOP.

Now, we look ahead. This year’s campaign is both a celebration of all we’ve accomplished and a call to action to keep pushing forward. New research is urgently needed to develop additional treatments and keep working toward a cure.

Our goal: Raise $500,000 for research and drug development.

100% of donations will go directly to these efforts.

How can you participate?

  1. Donate today to support crucial FOP research.

  2. Start your own fundraiser and rally your community to be part of the progress.

  3. Get inspired by the community-created In Pursuit of a Cure playlist (and send us your additions!)

  4. Post on social media (from research milestones to FOP family stories, there are many ways to share how important #cureFOP is to you)

  5. And mark your calendar for Day of Giving on September 16 — with special conversations and stories from FOP community members you won’t want to miss.

Together, we can fuel the next breakthrough.
