NPKUA Affiliate Council
Our Affiliate Council works with regional organizations across the U.S. It’s a resource hub and the first stop when planning events and fundraisers and meeting local needs. The Council hopes to inspire state and regional PKU organizations to lift one another up as we all work closely to improve the lives of people with PKU while pursuing a cure.
If you are interested in starting an Affiliate in your area, reach out to Sarah Gallagher, Director of Community Engagement at sarah@npkua.org.
