CureMPS Hoedown for Hope 2026

Help us reach our $50,000 fundraising goal for the CureMPS Research Fun!  Whether you can join us at the Hoedown for Hope or bid from afar, bid on a wonderful assortment of prizes and help unlock medical breakthroughs for kids living with MPS. 

CureMPS is a family-led fundraising and awareness effort founded after our son, Simon, was diagnosed with MPS IV A (Morquio syndrome) in 2019. At the time, global research momentum for this disease had largely stalled. Rather than wait, our family chose to act — raising funds, building community, and reigniting hope. Since 2020, we’ve raised more than $350,000, directly helping unlock the first promising new science for MPS IV A since 2012. Our charitable partner is The Isaac Foundation.
The Hoedown for Hope is our annual celebration of the power of community! Join us for live music, line dancing games, food trucks, drinks, door prizes and a whole lot of fun! This year our goal is to raise $50,000 to unlock a matching $50,000 contribution to a promising new t-cell engineering project out of the University of Minnesota – the research team needs our help to keep momentum.
