CURED: Campaign Urging Research for Eosinophilic Disorders
CURED (Campaign Urging Research for Eosinophilic Disorders) is a not-for-profit foundation dedicated to those suffering from eosinophilic esophagitis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, eosinophilic colitis and other eosinophilic disorders. It is the hope of CURED to raise substantial funding to aid in research and public awareness for this complex disease.
CURED gives 100% of all funds raised to research. Most recently, in May 2007, the CURED Foundation held CURED Day at the Races, where more than 300 people turned out for a great afternoon of horse racing and a great cause. The event raised $80,000 to support the research of Marc Rothenberg, MD. Read more about this successful event.
Also, in April 2006, Ellyn, Fred and their daughter Jori Kodroff, representing The CURED Foundation, presented a check for $85,000 to Marc E. Rothenberg, MD, director, Allergy and Immunology. The money will support his research in eosinophilic disorders.
Past Fund-Raising Efforts
On March 19, 2006, CURED hosted its third annual bowlathon fundraiser in Buffalo Grove, IL. There was a great showing of patients, friends, and family and a very successful amount of money was raised. To date, CURED has donated $205,000 for our Eosinophil Research program.
In addition, the second annual bowlathon fundraiser successfully took place in Buffalo Grove, IL on March 13, 2005. Over three hundred people were in attendance and the event included a silent auction and a surprising visit from the local fire department that delivered a donation to the organization. In 2005, CURED has successfully organized fundraiser events in multiple states including Colorado and Michigan and generously made two substantial contributions to Cincinnati Children's Hospital to support Eosinophil research.
On August 16, 2004 Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center received a substantial contribution from CURED to fund a major research project.
