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.
You all did an awesome job! Everything was so well executed, and what impressed me the most was how you managed to keep it interesting and engaging for the kids. They were fully involved throughout! Thank you so much for all your effort and for making it such a wonderful experience for the kids. Wishing you all the very best and lots of success in your future endeavors! 😊
