Friends of Ward’s is our growing community of people who believe that no family should have to navigate rare disease alone. You don’t need a personal connection to rare disease or a formal role with the Foundation to be a Friend of Ward’s. You simply need to care about families and believe in the power of connection, compassion, and community.

Our hope is simple: to bring more people into the Ward’s community and help more families discover the support available right here in Charlotte. Share, learn, connect or introduce someone to our mission. However you choose to participate, there’s a place for you here.
