For fifteen years, we've helped NF Network help NF families.
This year, we're doing something even bigger.
Every year, NF advocates from across the country head to Washington DC to request funding for NF research. Since 1996, these efforts have played a vital role in securing more than $660 million dollars in funding.
This year, for the first time ever, that funding was eliminated.
So, we are taking on a Herculean efforts to help NF Network fund research directly. Our goal - raise $250,000 to keep NF research alive.
We need your help more than ever this year to keep these researchers working toward new treatments and maybe one day, a cure.
No act of generosity is too small to make a difference.
BECOME AN
NF CHAMPION OF HOPE
We are looking for CHAMPIONS. The kind of people who want to help not just on the day of the concert, but every month in between. Signing up to be a Champion of Hope means you are committing to $100/month.
But here's the fun part...
- Each year, our CHAMPIONS will receive two (2) VIP tickets to any NF Hope Concert in the country.
- Our Champions make a difference every month, and the contribution is automatic and easy to setup.

ABOUT THE NF HOPE CONCERTS
The NF Hope Concerts have focused on positively impacting the NF community and making a difference in the world around us for 10 years! In the last decade, we have brought awareness of Neurofibromatosis to audience after audience.
In the process, we have raised more than $2,000,000 for the cause.
The concerts were created to support the NF community and fund NF Network's invaluable programs to empower NF families and improve their lives. Many individuals living with NF are being treated with chemotherapy and other similar anti-tumorial regiments, and as a result may be immune suppressed. For 18 months we have leveraged the power of virtual events to continue our mission while keeping our NF families safe.
Now, it is time dive into a new year of concerts that will close with a special holiday edition of Chicago's 6th Annual NF Hope Concert on Sunday, December 7 at 3:00 PM at Madison Street Theater in Oak Park, IL.
There are a limited number of seats available. For those who aren't able to get a ticket, we will also provide a streaming option for this unforgettable event.
From my family and the tens of thousands living with Neurofibromatosis in this country, thank you in advance for supporting the NF Hope Concert.
Kindest regards,
Jeff Leibow
Co-Founder and Director of Development, NF Hope Concerts
