How You Can Help

Spring Benefit for Childhood Genetic Disorders and photographic exhibition

The HudsonAlpha Spring 2013 benefit raises both money to ad­vance research into childhood genetic disor­ders and awareness of the profound physical, emotional and financial impacts to children and families.

In support of this effort, HudsonAlpha part­nered with Positive Exposure, a non-profit program founded by award-winning fashion photographer Rick Guidotti.

HudsonAlpha will hold its fifth annual Spring Benefit on Thursday, April 25. Proceeds from the event will fund the institute's research on childhood genetic disorders.

Hope for young patients and their families lies at the intersection of HudsonAlpha research and the practice of Dr. Martina Bebin, a pediatric neurologist at North Alabama Children’s Specialists in Huntsville. Genetic conditions that affect growth, behavior, and cognition are common and pervasive; HudsonAlpha scientists are searching for answers.

For a second year, Huntsville philanthropists Pennie and Tom Keene hosted a women's luncheon in support of HudsonAlpha. Donations from luncheon guests, which were supplemented by the Keenes and a matching gift from UBS Financial Services, will support research projects at HudsonAlpha.

The inaugural Alabama Gives Day raised more than $740,000 for nonprofits across the state, HudsonAlpha being one of the beneficiaries. The institute received $1,905 from donors during the unprecedented 24 hours of giving. 

Registration is open for the Double Helix Dash at HudsonAlpha. The race is scheduled for April 10 at McMillian Park, located at 601 Genome Way in Cummings Research Park. 

Here at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, we are gearing up for another exciting year. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, community support is vital to the institute's mission and we are grateful that so many of you have already embraced the work under way at the institute.
