ASCLS-NY supports the Quinn Madeleine Foundation, which was started by the Linzer family of Long Island after losing their daughter to Neimann-Pick Type A. Neimann-Pick Disease is a lysosomal storage disorder resulting in the inability to metabolize lipids, which causes organ failure by 2 or 3 years of age.
Donations contribute to finding a cure for Neimann-Pick Type A, as well as fulfilling wishes for children with this disease and similar metabolic diseases such as Pompe's and Gaucher's.
