Purpose and partners
The event aims to raise awareness of PANS and PANDAS, conditions in which a child’s immune response to an infection can cause inflammation in the brain and lead to sudden behavioral, neurological, or personality changes. The organizers partner with The Alex Manfull Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and say net proceeds will be given to Dartmouth Hospital’s Neuroimmune Psychiatric Disorder (NIPD) clinic to support its work and a fellowship fund established there. The event materials note that these conditions affect children and young adults and that diagnosis and treatment can be difficult in Vermont.
