Dear Supporter,
The Fragile X Association of Southern California (FRAXSOCAL) is hosting our 11th annual 5K for Fragile X and Family Fun Day event on Saturday, March 16, 2024. We would love your support whether it is as an individual participant, register as a team, sponsor or sign up for our mini resource fair.
Fragile X Syndrome is the leading cause of inherited intellectual disability and the leading single gene cause of Autism. It is a spectrum disorder and can range from mild to profound impairment. The Fragile X Association of Southern California (FRAXSOCAL- Non-Profit Tax ID # 95-4546917) was established in 1996 by parents of children with Fragile X syndrome and continues to be run by dedicated parent volunteers. The mission of our organization is to promote public awareness of Fragile X syndrome with a special emphasis on educators and health professionals; provide a forum for families of children with Fragile X to meet and share their ideas, concerns and problems; and support scientific research of Fragile X syndrome.
FRAXSOCAL fulfills these goals by reaching out to various community groups to promote awareness of Fragile X, as we are doing now. We support families in a variety of ways, including:
- Host educational seminars presented by experts in the Fragile X Syndrome field to promote the best outcomes for those with Fragile X Syndrome and their caregivers.
- Provided at no cost to participants.
- Provide financial support to caregivers to attend educational events
- Provide financial support to the Fragile X Clinic at MIller’s Children Hospital in Long Beach, CA.
- Provide support and guidance to newly diagnosed families connecting them to a wealth of resources.
- Inviting families to quarterly inclusive Family Fun Day events that we organize all over Southern California at no cost to them. It’s an opportunity to meet other families and share experiences.
- Monthly Support Group for caregivers led by a licensed therapist.
- Provide financial support to Fragile X Syndrome medical research.
The FRAXSOCAL 5K and Family Fun Day is our largest event of the year!! We started in 2013 with only 40 people in attendance and in 2023 we grew to over 400 participants! The race is family friendly but also a good challenge for those avid runners! Your support helps us fulfill our mission as well as support the various Fragile X research organizations including our local Fragile X Clinic’s at Miller’s Children’s Hospital in Long Beach and Thompson Autism and Neurodevelopmental Center at CHOC.
