Thank you for your interest in the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund (“FARF”) and the Cinco de Mayo FiestA for FA.

Life is full of hurdles to overcome, and that's when we all need a friend. When the times are particularly tough, that's when you call on your Best Friend. In this case, someone knew a friend was in need of support, and they told another and suddenly a large group of friends responded. My Best Friend, a committee of forty of your friends and neighbors, was formed in 2007 and dedicated itself to organizing fundraising events to benefit FARF. In just four years, My Best Friend has raised over $500,000. These proceeds go directly to help FARF continue its mission.

Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that celebrates life and triumphing against the odds. My Best Friend has held three successful Cinco de Mayo fiestas, in May 2007, 2008 and 2010. Guests enjoyed wonderful celebrations and the money raised has had an enormous impact on FARF.
