OUR LOGO

A rose carried skyward by a seagull, symbolizing hope and inspiration. Behind it, Sam's handprint: a reminder that Progeria afflicts children, most of whom never reach adulthood. The original artwork was lovingly created by graphic designer Marie Migliaccio, who knew Sam his entire life.

Our values define who we are, guide expected behaviors at all levels of the organization, and provide the framework for how we interact with those with progeria and their families, progeria researchers and clinicians, research-related program partners, donors, volunteers, and other supporters of our mission:

PRF Staff and Board are committed to and passionate about the work we do each day.

Our programs are innovative and research-driven. We are leaders in our field.

Business operations are transparent while respectful of the privacy of our donors and the families we serve.

We sustain and reinvest in our mission by wisely managing our human and material resources, recognizing the responsibility and accountability we have for stewardship of the resources entrusted to us.

We strive to provide information that is accurate, objective, relevant, timely and understandable.

Teamwork is an integral part of everything we do, as we truly believe that Together, we WILL find the cure!
