Event: Andelyn Biosciences is thrilled to announce the Inaugural FORE One Purpose! Golf Tournament

September 30, 2024, The Country Club at Muirfield Village 

Today, we invite you to join Andelyn’s pledge to enhance awareness for the patients and families of the rare disease community. By raising awareness around rare diseases, we can begin to divert more resources to accelerating the development of effective genetic and cell-based treatments for patients.  The event will host patient ambassadors to tell their stories so the community can learn about the important research and therapies that are Turning Hope Into Reality™. 

Ways to support the FORE One Purpose! Golf Tournament:

• Be a golfer – join us on the greens  
• Be an event sponsor – your generosity will directly support the event
• Be an in-kind donor – your in-kind donation will help ensure a fun and successful day
• Share our information – please pass along our event QR code or webpage

There are over 10,000 rare diseases affecting more than 300 million people worldwide, with 70% of rare diseases starting in childhood. Individuals living with a rare disease face many challenges including delays in diagnosis, barriers to financial resources, barriers to information and financial resource, and limited treatment options. The rare disease community relies on public, private, and non-profit partners to develop gene therapies for populations that are too small to be financially viable investments for typical commercial development. Gene therapy holds immense promise in treating previously incurable rare diseases.

Please join Andelyn Biosciences to make FORE One Purpose! a successful fundraising event.  As Andelyn Biosciences is a for-profit entity, all donations, including golfer fees, are not tax-deductible.  Any funds remaining after event expenses are settled will be donated to a non-profit foundation of Andelyn’s choice to benefit the rare disease patient population.
