Foundation Support

The spirit of Thanksgiving means expressing gratitude and appreciation for the people in our lives and the affect they have on those around them. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting the Foundation of the NLA as we make strides toward improving quality of life for our patients.

2011 marked a major milestone for the Foundation with the launch of our Familial Hypercholesterolemia public awareness campaign. Thanks to your support, we have shifted this prevalent but little-known disorder toward national attention.

As the holiday season approaches, I ask you to renew your support or to make your first pledge to the Foundation to benefit our public health, community outreach, and professional education efforts. Despite the relative infancy of our organization, we have seen a significant increase in charitable support from 2010 to 2011, thanks to the membership of the NLA and to private donors. Our fundraising target for 2012 is a 25% increase in contributions, and your support will help us reach this goal.

To donate, please click here. For contributions of $100 or more, you will receive a complimentary copy of 100 Questions & Answers About Managing Your Cholesterol, a thorough, yet patient-friendly book published as a special collaboration between the Foundation and the NLA.

Again, thank you for your continued support of the Foundation, and best wishes this holiday season.

Sincerely,

Anne C. Goldberg, MD, FNLA
President, Foundation of the NLA
