    Hi all – The Graves’ Disease & Thyroid Foundation turned 25 this year! Please consider a donation to the GDATF’s 25th Anniversary Fund:

    https://www.crowdrise.com/GDATFAnniversary-2015for2015

    Although some organizations require a paid membership to post on online forums, attend a support group meeting, or reach a patient advocate via phone/e-mail, the GDATF strives to keep as many of our services as possible FREE to the public. Every single dollar helps us to continue providing these critical services to patients and family members!

    I am the one that is eager to commerate our 25th year. As Kimberly noted, almost everything we do is “free” – mini-conferences, this forum, patient support and information. However, that doesn’t mean that all these things don’t cost money. I had no idea how much it costs for internet sites, newsletters and postage, support group expenses…the list goes on. What I had hoped for was a 12-page newsletter to go to everyone with whom we have had contact, with lots of pictures, and information about all the [wonderful] things we have done over this past quarter of a century. The basic price for this is (gulp) $16,000 (for over 14,000 people. I have never raised more than $0.25. If you are interested, please contribute. If you have stories or pictures, please send them tome “nancyngdf@gmail,com”. I want to make it a Family Reunion, and invite all of you to come home.

    Hi Everyone –

    Just noticed that the 25th Anniversary Fund campaign goal has passed the half-way mark – fantastic! I thought it would be a good time to express my gratitude once again to everyone, especially to the caring facilitators here, for this wonderful forum and all the support it provides – Thank you so much!

    Happy New Year to all,

    I am a new member to your site. I was told from one of the post that I can support this site via smile.amazon.com. I am a frequent Amazon shopper so want to support through that route too. Is “Graves Disease Foundation Inc” the right charity to select within “smile.amazon.com – select your charity screen”? Please help me to choose the right one so the support goes to this organization. Thanks.

    Hello and thanks for supporting the GDATF! Yes, Graves’ Disease Foundation Inc. is the correct charity for Amazon Smile. That was the GDATF’s former name, and it has not yet been changed over in Amazon.
