Prader-Willi syndrome affects children who are born with a chromosomal defect. There is no cure. The syndrome results in the individual suffering from insatiable hunger that causes uncontrollable weight gain and behavior issues. The affected individual’s metabolic system is slowed down, requiring a smaller amount of food before weight is gained. Affected individuals typically must eat less than 1,200 calories per day.
The Eastern Hills Sunrise Rotary Club holds two major fundraising events each year. In 2006, the Club’s first fundraiser will be its Monte Carlo Night.
The Eastern Hills Sunrise Rotary Club raises funds for the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association through the Club’s 501 (c) (3) foundation – the Eastern Hills Sunrise Rotary Foundation.
Companies interested in sponsoring or individuals interested in attending the Monte Carlo Night should call Dr. Joseph Margarone III at (716) 631-2800.
