Honoring Our Community of Support
Our 2024 Donor Recognition Wall
The Vasculitis Foundation draws its strength from every individual who contributes to our mission. Whether you share your story to raise awareness, participate in support groups, attend educational programs, make a memorial gift, or contribute what you can – you are an essential part of our community. Each act of support, no matter the size, creates meaningful change in the lives of those impacted by vasculitis. Your commitment to our cause demonstrates the power of a united community.
The donor recognition wall below honors these integral members of our vasculitis community in 2024. Their exceptional generosity helps advance critical research initiatives, expand educational resources, and strengthen support programs worldwide.
