During this season of giving FASD United is making ambitious plans for 2026, and we need you by our side.
For a moment, we reflect on a year full of accomplishments. The International Research Conference, Impact Week featuring our 35th Anniversary Red Shoes Gala, Hill Day, call to action symposium, and more, passage of the FASD Respect Act, a growing Affiliate Network, and a record number of clients served by the Family Navigators. A great year indeed, but so much to do.
FASD United has reached new heights thanks to your volunteer and financial support, and we are grateful. Yet, satisfaction is fleeting. FASD United is the voice of the FASD community, an immense responsibility, and we have no time to look back.
Off we go to 2026, where we will continue vital collaborations with the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences to address FASD in the Military Health System—piloting an FASD clinical model in the military is the next step to rolling out FASD services for all clinical networks—and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s FASD National Partners Network, and ally for over 20 years.
We will fight to fulfill the promise of the Respect Act so that at long last resources are directly invested in States and Tribes to build systems of care with real world support for our community.
We will bring together families, researchers, clinicians, and anyone willing to commit to the cause at this year’s research conference in April and the bigger-than-ever Impact Week in September, quickly becoming the most important FASD gathering.
We will be there for you through the Family Navigator, expanded resources, the latest research, best practices, and compassionate advocacy and support.
In the spirit of giving, we ask you to stand with FASD United by donating to our mission and our team. We believe we have earned your confidence.
We urge you to include FASD United in your year-end charity. Whatever you can afford, a recurring donation for 2026, conference or Impact Week sponsorship, or a one-time gift of any amount. Visit fasdunited.org to contribute or contact us about a non-cash donation or stock transfer.
Thank you and best wishes for a wonderful Holiday Season and New Year!
