The Cure Tay-Sachs Foundation (CTSF)is honored and humbled to haver your support. Since our founding in June 2007 the CTSF has raised $1,559,852.56 (as of 12/31/2010) to support Tay-Sachs disease research!! We have spent $533,358 on research projects to date and continue to search for new and innovative Tay-Sachs research projects. We are currently working to raise $1.6 million to support toxicity studies, vector manufacturing, consulting fees and natural history studies required to meet FDA requirements for clinical trials.

The battle against this disease is difficult. It often seems as if we take two steps forward and then one step back. But when you consider our opponent - it is no wonder. No child in the history of medicine has survived Tay-Sachs! It has a 100% fatality rate. We have to change the course of history to beat this disease - so that is what we will do. We are moving towards human clinical trials, slower than we had hoped, but we will continue to push forward.

We work hard to protect our donor's money by spending it wisely. We keep administrative expenses as low as possible (less then 5%) and the foundation has NO paid employees or consultants. A listing of the research we support can be found on the Research section of this website. Thank you so much for supporting us - we will find a CURE for Tay-Sachs disease. There is HOPE in your HELP!!.

This one of a kind Iceberg Award will be given to donors who contribute $1,000 or more in 2011. The stylish award is emblazened with the Cure Tay-Sachs Foundation logo and commemorates forever the year of your most generous donation! You will forever be reminded that there is HOPE in your HELP!!
