About Us

Why we started HFF

We started HFF because Huntington's disease deserves far more attention, compassion, and urgency than it gets. As a student-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we knew we might be small, but we also knew small teams can create real momentum when they care deeply and show up consistently.

Our Story

A mission built from personal conviction and public purpose.

HFF was created to bridge the gap between awareness and action. Huntington's disease affects entire families, yet many students have never heard of it until someone they know is impacted. We wanted to change that by building a student-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit that could educate our peers, host fundraising events, and create a visible community of support.
