2015 Golf Outing Auction

This auction will support research conducted by the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF) and by physicians doing work on Pyruvate Dehydrogenase deficiency. All of the items in this auction have been donated to the Zachary Foundation. This allows 100% of the proceeds to go to research.

The Zachary Foundation was started in July 2004 with the sole purpose of raising funds for research for Mitochondrial Disease. The foundation was founded by the parents, family and friends of Zachary Friedberg of Morganville, New Jersey. Zachary suffers from a rare form of Mitochondrial Disease. Zachary's body cannot convert sugar to energy. The disease affects both his motor and cognitive abilities. Despite his disability Zachary is a fun and loving child who touches everyone he meets.
The Zachary Foundation was inspired by Zachary's older brother Benjamin. Benjamin came to us when he was only 9 and said “why don't we raise money and tell people about Zachary so he can get better and other people can help him like I do”. Benjamin’s idea took hold and with the help friends and colleagues we have donated in excess of $350,000 to research.
