The International 22q11.2 Foundation is working to empower and support families. We are campaigning for early detection and newborn screening. We are dedicated to spreading awareness. Through community events such as our annual 22q at Zoo, Worldwide Awareness Day, 22k for 22q events around the globe, and our Same Name Campaign we are bringing much needed public attention to 22q11.2 syndromes. We provide support through our global Family Support Network, professional connections, guidance and resources. We sponsor family and professional educational conferences so that families have the most up to date research available.
