Mission
Canavan Research Illinois (also known as
Canavan Disease Research) is a nonprofit corporation and 501(c)(3)
public charity based in Illinois, established in April 2000 to meet a
critical need to support medical research to treat, cure, and improve
the quality of lives of all children battling Canavan disease,
a rare fatal genetic neurological disorder.
As
an orphan disease, Canavan receives essentially no public funding for
research. We are an all volunteer organization, dedicated to raise
funds to support cutting-edge research, increase public awareness, and
network Canavan families. Virtually every penny raised is dedicated
to saving all the young victims of Canavan disease.
