Event Recap

Over 170 guests attended our first ever Cocktails & Chromosomes: NYC! Clinicians from Columbia University, Dana Farber, Boston Children’s & Cohen’s Children’s, families, friends, & new members of the Team Telomere Community made this event a night to remember!

Together, we raised $75,000! With the help of our partners, we officially hit 1 million dollars out of our 1.5 million dollar goal to fund our very first clinical trial!

Three speakers shared their stories:

Allison Kiene shared how telomeres impacted her family’s life going back 40+ years.

Katie Stevens talked about the history of Team Telomere and what telomeres are.

Jena Robertson shared the story of her daughter, Rori, and her HOPE for the future.

See you next year, NYC!
