Gummy Bear Gourmet class raises funds for BBDF
A big thank you to BBDF supporter Ashley Crider and the members of her Gummy Bear Gourmet class! This summer Ashley and her students hosted a lemonade and cookie sale benefitting the foundation. Their hard work and tasty treats raised $115 for the foundation.
"We always donate the money to BBDF because it's a tradition that we do, and children learning to help other children is as important as children learning how fun and simple it is to eat healthy!"

INTRODUCING BBDF'S WEBINAR SERIES
This summer, BBDF presented the first in what will be a series of webinars on JNCL designed for foundations, parents, family and loved ones of those affected by Batten. The webinars are a platform for us to share the latest information on juvenile Batten disease research and provide a forum for information sharing. This 30 minute webinar allows us to describe our strategy as it relates to finding a treatment and cure for juvenile Batten disease. We talk about the global efforts in JNCL research and how all the pieces fit together to get a treatment as quickly and inexpensively as possible. This first presentation gives a broad overview of our strategy and we will provide more detailed information in the webinars to follow.
