Why Your Support Matters
Each year, donor generosity helps this inspiring celebration raise millions of dollars for FARA and the USF Health Ataxia Research Center, advancing promising research for families affected by FA.
Every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured, and donation made helps fuel research that brings hope to the FA community. FARA—the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance—works to advance life-changing research for Friedreich’s ataxia, a rare genetic disease that affects balance, coordination, mobility, the heart, and metabolism.
By supporting the Energy Ball, you are helping move researchers closer to treatments and cures for FA while opening doors to discoveries that may benefit other neurological, mitochondrial, cardiac, metabolic, and gene-based diseases.
