Congratulations to our 2024 S.A.M. Awa<\/b>rd winner, SAMMY BASS<\/b>O<\/b>!<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"\"PRF Ambassador Sammy Basso, who was close friends with Sam Berns, got a rousing standing ovation as he received the most recent SAM award. A resident of Tezze sul Brenta, Italy, Sammy was diagnosed with Progeria at age two and became the spokesperson of the Sammy Basso Italian Association for Progeria (A.I.Pro.S.B.) when he was just 10 years old. He was among the first to join PRF\u2019s clinical trials, testing the now-FDA-approved drug lonafarnib, the first-ever treatment for Progeria.<\/p>\n

Sam and Sammy in Italy, toasting their special friendship<\/p><\/div>\n

Sammy\u2019s studies took him to Padua University, where he earned a degree in Natural Sciences and delivered a thesis on a genetic editing approach in HGPS mice. In 2021, Sammy graduated with a second degree in Molecular Biology with a thesis on the intersection of Lamin A and Interleukin-6, an approach for treating Progeria by targeting the toxic protein, known as progerin. Sammy continues his dedication to finding the cure with his vital research collaborations with PRF and the genetic editing team. He also engages in many public speaking opportunities globally, to raise awareness for Progeria and PRF\u2019s groundbreaking progress toward the cure. Sammy is well-known throughout the world for his tremendous personality and brilliance, and we are so proud to call him our dear friend.<\/p>\n

Pharma Expert TOM MATHERS Receives the 2022 S.A.M. Award!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tom Mathers\u2019 friendship with PRF co-founders Drs. Leslie Gordon and Scott Berns dates back to college, and his sage advice as a successful drug developer in the pharma and biotech world has been given since PRF\u2019s creation.<\/p>\n

Tom is the Founder, President and CEO at Allievex, a biotechnology company committed to developing therapeutics for rare pediatric neurological diseases. He worked with PRF on its partnership with Eiger Biopharmaceuticals, which led to the historic FDA approval for lonafarnib as a treatment for Progeria, and he continues to work with PRF on other potential treatments. Tom\u2019s motivation is exactly that of PRF \u2013 to save children, and his unique skills within the world of pharmaceutical drug development have been critical to PRF\u2019s growing role in that space. Oh, and he never missed a Night of Wonder Gala with Sam, whom he loved very much. \u2665<\/p>\n

His long-term relationship with PRF began in 2003, when he committed resources to manage the gene discovery news. Under John\u2019s leadership, Spectrum went on to lead PRF\u2019s publicity efforts for many other major announcements, and his team played a pivotal role in the PRF-HBO partnership for Life According to Sam<\/a>.

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dr. Monica Kleinman has committed her time, talents and energy to furthering Progeria research in one of the most important ways: as a Principal Investigator for the Progeria clinical trials at<\/p>\n

Boston Children\u2019s Hospital (BCH). With her kind and expert bedside manner, she has successfully led these vital trials and gained the trust and respect of the families and all who are involved in them. She was also an original member of PRF\u2019s Board of Directors and Medical Research Committee (MRC). Monica wears many important hats at BCH! She is Associate Chief, Division of Critical Care Medicine; Chief Safety Officer, Program for Patient Safety and Quality; Co-Chair, Resuscitation Quality Program; and is also an Associate Professor of Anesthesia (Pediatrics), Harvard Medical School.

Former Trial Leader and Gene Therapy Developer DR. MARK KIERAN Accepts the 2014 S.A.M. Award!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

PRF Board Member Dr. Mark Kieran became involved with PRF in 2006, when lonafarnib became the target drug for the first\"\" Progeria Clinical Drug trial. Mark was director of Pediatric Medical Neuro-Oncology at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, leading a lonafarnib trial for young Cancer patients. His extensive experience with lonafarnib made him the ideal leader of this effort in partnership with PRF and Boston Children\u2019s Hospital, and when asked, this incredibly busy person said \u201cyes\u201d right away!<\/p>\n

After 20 years as Director of Pediatric Neuro-Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Boston Children\u2019s Hospital focused on the development and clinical translation of novel targeted and gene therapies for children with brain cancer, progeria and other infant heart diseases, Dr. Kieran transitioned to industry and is currently the VP of Clinical Development at Day One Biopharmaceutics, a company focused on the development of targeted drugs for children. Mark\u2019s addition to PRF\u2019s Board illustrates PRF\u2019s growing focus on drug development, and we are grateful for all he continues to contribute.<\/p>\n

The First-Ever S.A.M. Award Goes to DR. FRANCIS COLLINS in 2011!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Francis Collins holds a very special place in PRF\u2019s heart and history. He has been by PRF\u2019s side almost since the\u00a0\"\"beginning, becoming close friends with Sam Berns and his family, and playing a pivotal role in PRF\u2019s rapid pace of progress. When he was Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), his lab led the discovery of the Progeria gene in 2003.<\/p>\n

Inspired by his deep friendship with Sam, Dr. Collins continues to run his lab at NHGRI, demonstrating his enduring commitment to Progeria research until the cure is found. He has made pivotal discoveries in RNA therapy, and is part of the core team working on a gene-edited therapy that could be the cure for Progeria.<\/p>\n

Dr. Collins was Science Advisor to three Presidents of the U.S. and former Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We are incredibly thankful for all that he has done, and continues to do, For the Children \u2665 For the Cure.<\/p>\n

Announcing Debbie Ponn as our 2009 Amy Award winner!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Debbie first became involved with PRF when she came to Night of Wonder (NOW) 2003 as the guest of long-time supporters Robyn and Tom Milbury. At the end of the night, she approached PRF\u2019s director Audrey Gordon and said, \u201cIf you ever need help with anything, please call me\u201d. Little did either of them know how much that offer would affect the lives of children with Progeria. Since that time Debbie co-chaired NOWs 2005, 2007 and 2011, co-organized the Chicago event in June 2009, and continues to help PRF in many other ways. She is ALWAYS there to help, as Amy was for her friends and family.<\/p>\n

Julie is a graphic designer who has been volunteering tirelessly for PRF since its inception in 1998. She created PRF\u2019s brochures, posters, t-shirts and many other pieces that allow us to reach out and deliver our message.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing I find most fascinating about Julie\u201d, says Leslie Gordon, who presented the award at Night of Wonder 2007, \u201cis that, from the first 1000 times that she said \u2018Oh, can I do that for you?\u2019, her philanthropy has truly been a labor of love. She feels as honored to be able to help as we feel to have her on our team. Julie, you are what Amy exemplified \u2013 love, courage, and the kind of tireless dedication that will surely drive the cure for Progeria.\u201d<\/p>\n

2005: Chip Foose and Kim Paratore receive our first Amy Award<\/strong><\/h4>\n

PRF and The Night of Wonder 2005 Committee presented the first Amy Award to our honored guest, Chip Foose, Amy\u2019s brother.\u00a0Chip is fast\u00a0becoming not only internationally recognized in the auto world, but also spokesman for PRF, engaging the producer of his show \u201cOverhaulin\u2019\u201d and many others to support PRF.<\/p>\n

Chip says, \u201cPeople constantly ask me how I keep going with so little rest and stay so positive. I answer them by saying, \u2018I watched my sister Amy go and go and go without ever hearing a single complaint. She is my constant inspiration and strength.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Also given the Amy Award at the 2005 Night of Wonder was Kim Paratore, now a member of PRF\u2019s Board of Directors. Kim has been involved as a PRF volunteer since its inception, having chaired the first three Night of Wonder galas, and numerous other PRF fundraising events.<\/p>\n
