VALLEY FEVER AMERICAS FOUNDATION

Our Goal is to financially and legislatively support research and development of a cure and vaccine. Additionally, we are striving to create effective awareness campaigns to provide accurate information about Valley Fever and encourage early diagnosis through public education of the symptoms

Our Foundation provides resources and speakers at health events and conducts an annual awareness walk to spread awareness directly to the communities impacted by Valley Fever. We are developing a program to educate school children and school nurses about Valley Fever. By working with our Federal, State and Local leaders we are able to share our knowledge and experience to encourage funding and legislation to address current shortcomings in funding, tracking and diagnosing Valley Fever.

Our Foundation has partnered with Public Health Agencies, Medical Providers and Legislators to build a coalition to advance awareness and research efforts to achieve our goals of awareness and a cure and vaccine for Valley Fever.

We have supported a previous vaccine trial for Valley Fever that proved unsuccessful but led to the new generation of vaccine development currently in progress. We have built partnerships with elected officials, community leaders, medical providers, survivors and supporters to give a voice to those impacted by Valley Fever. We have seen legislative efforts at the state and federal level and budget requests at the state level. We have supported forward progress on a potential cure for Valley Fever and seen Federal grants to support research and better diagnostic and treatment options.

We will continue to raise money and support the development of a cure and a vaccine. We are increasing our efforts to work with elected officials to support State and Federal awareness efforts. We are developing materials and programs to bring awareness to the most at risk and hardest to reach groups within the endemic areas.
