Eastern Hills Sunrise Rotary Club today presented the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association with a check for $10,000. The Club raised the money at its Monte Carlo event and Golf Tournament. The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association (USA) is a 501 (c) (3) corporation. Rotary Club president Scott Bylewski presented the check to Barbara McManus, conference chair for the 8th National PWSA (USA) conference and the 16th Annual Prader Willi Alliance of New York, Inc. conference, and Jeannie Dickinson, Prader-Willi Syndrome Association youth program director.
The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association is dedicated to serving individuals affected by Prader-Willi syndrome, their families, and interested professionals. The syndrome affects children who are born with a chromosomal defect. There is no cure. The syndrome results in the individual suffering from insatiable hunger that causes uncontrollable weight gain and behavior issues. The affected individual’s metabolic system is slowed down, requiring a smaller amount of food before weight is gained. Affected individuals typically must eat less than 1,200 calories per day.
The Eastern Hills Sunrise Rotary Club raised funds for the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association through the Club’s 501 (c) (3) foundation – the Eastern Hills Sunrise Rotary Foundation.
