Help us create awareness and raise funds for research by hosting a Tea Party.

We supply the posters, invitations, donation cards, and tea! Just send us an email and we’ll send you a Tea Party Kit.

This is a great way to treat your friends, family and colleagues to tea and increase the profile of NF. We need to let the community know that NF is a disorder which affects over 10,000 Canadians and needs support and funding!

If you’d like to host a tea party we have all the supplies. Posters, invites, donation cards, and we will also send you the tea! Just send us an email and we’ll send you a Tea Party Kit. Then all you have to do is put the kettle and invite your friends over.

It’s that easy to make a difference!

Dr. Friedman’s presentation presented some great new research information along with the results of their research of using full body MRIs in NF1 If you weren’t able to join us for the seminar you can view the webinar here.

Please note: The company that hosted the webinar is aware that Dr. Friedman’s screen sharing is not showing during the recording playback and their development team is working on this to resolve the issue as fast as possible.

If there is a store in your neighbourhood and would you be willing to drop off the cans on or near May 1st, and then pick them up at the end of the month, we’d love to hear from you! Volunteers are need for North Vancouver, Delta, Coquitlam, Surrey, New Westminster, Abbotsford, Nanaimo, Courtney, Campbell River, and Saltspring Island. It is a simple task involving very little time but would make a huge difference . Please let us know if you are keen to help!

Join us for the kick-off from 1:30 to 4pm at the Richmond Olympic Oval located at 6111 River Road in Richmond. Mason Raymond will be joining the event for a free skate. Complimentary skates are available onsite. There is plenty of onsite parking available and the hourly rate is $1.00 per hour.

Time permitting, Mason will be spending time at the end of the session signing autographs and posing for photos. You are welcome to bring jerseys, photographs, and other items for him to sign.

Please let us know if you are planning to attend so we can ensure we have enough t-shirts for everyone! This will also be a great opportunity with lots of media in attendance to create awareness for NF. Hope you can join us!
