PPMD 2016 Community Engagement Opportunities

Sponsor Programs

Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) knows that it will take every single member of the Duchenne community and beyond to help us achieve our ultimate mission – to End Duchenne.

One of our four key organizational objectives is to educate the global Duchenne community and to share up-to-date information about treatment and care options with all members of the Duchenne community.

In 2016, we are pleased to be launching The Every Single One tour in addition to hosting our Annual Connect Conference. Please join us as we continue to lead the most comprehensive effort to engage and educate the Duchenne community.

1. Annual Connect Conference Sponsorship Opportunities

PPMD’s Annual Connect Conference is a unique convergence of industry partners, scientific leaders, medical providers, people living with Duchenne, and their families. This unique meeting has grown to be recognized worldwide as the foremost Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient advocacy meeting. Additionally, the PPMD Annual Connect Conference provides businesses with the opportunity to be recognized for playing a leadership role in the Duchenne community.

When you sponsor this conference, you associate yourself with an organization that holds the highest ethical and financial standards. Sponsorship of the PPMD Annual Connect Conference means so much more than just your corporate name and logo on a sign. It signifies a commitment to advancement in the Duchenne field and a philanthropic commitment to society. It means, like us, you want to end Duchenne.

We invite you to partner with PPMD and help make the 2016 Connect Conference a successful and unforgettable meeting.

We appreciate your leadership in the rare disease community and look forward to working with you as we take the next steps to end Duchenne.
