Volunteering & Giving:

A Benefit to Stop Batten Disease, Dock5 at Union Market

We wanted to share one more event taking place this weekend at Union Market’s Dock 5 that is bringing together DC’s top chefs for a great cause.

Mila’s Miracle Foundation cordially invites you to a benefit to raise funds and awareness to Stop Batten Disease.

The proceeds from the evening of cocktails, live music, a luxury silent auction, and small plates from D.C.’s top chefs will go toward funding a new clinical trial to save children like Mila from Batten Disease.

Tickets are available here.

ABOUT MILA’S MIRACLE FOUNDATION

Mia’s Miracle Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds to stop Batten Disease. Mila is a 6-year-old girl in Boulder, Colorado, suffering from Batten disease—a rare, neurodegenerative condition causing seizures, vision loss, cognitive impairment and early death. There is no cure—yet. Parents are forced to make excruciatingly painful decisions as the disease takes its course. Eventually, these families are left to face life without their child.

But Mila’s mom—a D.C. native—has decided to make a difference and raise $4M to fund research and start a clinical trial to halt degeneration in children facing Mila’s type of Batten. Their foundation aims to find a cure for Batten disease and to fund scientific advances which can be used to combat additional genetic diseases affecting hundreds of millions of people all over the world.
