CARES Foundation is excited to announce its receipt of a $50,000 grant from Peregrine Charities to aid in funding clinical research for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). This grant will be used to continue the funding of seminal new research, a Natural History Protocol of CAH, as being conducted by Deborah Merke, MD, MS, Chief of Pediatric Services for the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. The outcome of this research protocol will be a foundation for the study, treatment, and hopefully, a cure of individuals with CAH.
CARES Foundation is extremely grateful to Peregrine Charities for its commitment to the continuation of such research. Peregrine Charities has been formed as a grant-making family foundation to help under-funded and underserved populations—families afflicted by rare or "orphan" diseases. The Wasendorf family chose to start this philanthropy to assist needy organizations. Peregrine Charities was established as a 501(c)3 in May of 2004 and hopes to give worthy organizations over one million dollars in funding from this private Wasendorf family foundation on an annual basis.

As with any disease, research is imperative to understanding the basic cause. Through a complete and thorough examination of a disorder, effective and groundbreaking treatments can be established.
