Words cannot begin to express our gratitude for the support, passion, and generosity of all of who attended our 4th Annual RARE Patient Advocacy Summit & RARE Tribute to Champions of Hope this past September in Huntington Beach, CA.
Friends, Patients, Advocates, Caregivers & Supporters,

It was a marathon few days of rare disease networking, education and 
congratulations during our annual RARE Patient Advocacy Summit and RARE Tribute to Champions of Hope this year. Our speakers made powerful presentations on everything from caregiving to fundraising. Patients, parents, and advocates alike traveled to the Huntington Beach to meet, listen, share and learn. 
We wanted to take this opportunity to convey our deepest appreciation to all of you for spending such an empowering few days with us!

As you experienced firsthand, we have a wealth of talent, experience, and education in our community.

Throughout the Tribute, we celebrated rare disease champions from around the globe who are proving that great things can be accomplished by dreaming, planning, taking action, and believing. The night will be remembered for its courageous honorees, touching acceptance speeches, and amazing performances by Cimorelli, Ben Lou, Kris Allen, Aleem, and Christina Grimmie!
