SUMMARY:NF Young Adult Leadership Program
DESCRIPTION:Are you a young adult living with NF and want to make a difference in your community?\n\n\n\nIn addition to NF’s clinical impacts\, young people with NF or schwannomatosis are faced with the common and often elevated challenges of young adulthood. Yet\, resources for this group are virtually nonexistent. \nWe created the NF Young Adult Leadership Program in collaboration wit The Littlest Tumor Foundation and Texas NF to help NF youth develop critical leadership skills\, advocate for NF solutions\, educate Congress\, and advance NF research. \nThis five-day program includes workshops with leadership experts and mentors\, meetings with Congressional leaders in DC\,  and two briefings – one in the House and one in the Senate. Young leaders will break-up to visit to all 435 Congressional offices and 100 Senate offices. \n\n\n\nThe NF Young Adult Leadership Program is an opportunity for NF-affected young adults to learn effective advocacy skills and speak directly to policymakers about NF. The 5-day program is the first of its kind\, allowing young adults to make a difference in the NF community. \nProgram priorities are to create leaders\, advance research\, and bring new voices to the forefront of advocacy. \n\nBecome a leader today.\n\nThe 2023 program will be held January 2-6th\, 2023 in Washington D.C. Scholarships are available to qualified applicants. \n\n\nAPPLY HERE

SUMMARY:SamJam Music & Brewfest
DESCRIPTION:There’s something for everyone at SamJam!\n10 Hours of live music to benefit Neurofibromatosis (NF) featuring folk\, rock\, progressive bluegrass\, country\, and blues.\nThe 2022 SamJam Music and Brewfest will be held on Saturday\, Sept. 24 from noon until 10 p.m. at the Macoupin County Fairgrounds\, just north of Carlinville. The event will feature everything from R&B to country and rock and roll\, jazz\, and American folk.\n\nKnown for top-quality music\, SamJam was created in 2014 to honor Sam\, who has endured years of struggle with neurofibromatosis (NF)\, which affects 1 in every 2\,500 worldwide. NF is most often noticed in childhood or early adulthood\, and appears equally across sexes\, races\, and ethnic groups. \n\nIn its first seven editions\, SamJam has raised $71\,000\, with the funds going to NF Midwest an organization that provides research grants and support services in Illinois and five surrounding states.\n\nThis year’s version of SamJam features five bands of distinct musical talents\, including the closing act\, Al Holliday and The East Side Rhythm Band. Based on the Metro East\, the band mixes the best elements of rhythm and blues with old-school blues\, soul\, funk\, and jazz.\n\nThe band will release their fourth album later this year and has toured across the country\, as well as Europe.\n\nOther performers at SamJam include Positively 4th Street of Springfield\, which plays everything from ‘30s-style blues to rock\, country\, originals\, Bob Dylan\, and Tom Petty\, and Isaiah Christian and the Rebel Saints\, an up-and-coming country singer from Winchester\, Ill.\n\nThere’s also Pete Jive\, a Naperville performer that presents a mix of American folk\, rock\, and roots reggae\, and One Way Traffic\, a St. Louis-based progressive bluegrass group.\n\nLike last year\, SamJam will be held outside on the carnival midway of the fairgrounds\, with two pole tents and a professional stage. Food trucks\, a tub raffle\, and a wide selection of beer will also be offered. Camping is also available on the fairgrounds.\n\nTickets for SamJam are only available at the gate and are $20 for adults and $10 for students\, with free admission for 16 and under. Spectators are urged to bring lawn chairs\, blankets\, and umbrellas. For more information\, or to make donations\, visit www.SamJam4NF.com or call 217-556-4917.\n\nIf you have neurofibromatosis or schwannomatosis contact the event organizers or NF Midwest to receive complementary admission at the gate.\n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Walk4NF YOUR WAY Madison\, WI
DESCRIPTION:Walk Your Way Madison Details\n1. Choose your place and people to walk with\nOur Madison walk is on this year\, except WHERE you walk and HOW you walk is up to you! Maybe you want to walk like a duck around a pond or backward down your street? \nPlan to walk somewhere\, some way\, with someone(s) on the morning of  May 15th within the social distancing recommendations of your community and in a way in which you feel safe. For instance\, you could have a nice crowd at your house\, join another team at a park or forest preserve\, or walk around the block with close family. \n2. Register; Order tshirts; Fundraise\nRegister as soon as possible as we plan to have challenges\, games\, and updates until the event. Participation is free (unless you want to charge for YOUR walk) however if you or your teammates want t-shirts\, you must raise $100 or pay $25 for a t-shirt ($15 for kids). \nWhen signing up\, think of a creative team name or use your last name\, and elect a captain who will be responsible for exchanging information with team members or choose an existing team to join. \nYou’ll find everything you need including donation forms\, fundraising ideas\, and more on the registration site. \n3. Arrange to get tshirts/goodies\nT-shirts will be available for pick-up or possibly delivery a week before from the office. We will also be in Madison on Friday and t-shirts may be picked up then. We also hope to have other goodies to give you! \n4. Buy raffle tickets\nSeveral days before the walk we will unveil raffle prizes online and allow for raffle ticket purchases online (or when you get your t-shirts).  \n5. May 15th walk and join us virtually (or in person)\nYou’ll also be able to join us virtually for raffle and prizes (including team with most flair). Sign-up\, make your plans and will have more details soon.  \nOn the morning of the walk\, we’ll set up somewhere in the Madison area. We’ll have a room open online starting a 10 AM for walkers and teams to drop in and you’ll be invited to post videos\, photos\, and comments on Facebook as well.  At NOON we’ll draw raffle winners online and crown the team with the most “flair”\, as well as acknowledge our top fundraisers. \n
