Fundraising

This year, once again, Kate Carrier, owner of Kate’s Single Batch Toffee in San Rafael CA is selling her delicious toffee and donating $10 per box sold to the nonprofit, HDSA San Francisco Bay Area Chapter.

The toffee is delicious and melts in your mouth.
            Every dollar helps in funding Huntington’s Disease research because that is how we are going to eradicate this horrific disease.

Order a box or two through March 9th, 2023: https://katestoffee.com/products/huntingtons-disease-fundraising-toffee-box

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a brain disease that is passed down in families from generation to generation. HD has the symptoms of ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s at one time and it strikes young.  And there is NO CURE.
