Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects various aspects of a person’s life. People with PWS often experience a range of challenges, including insatiable appetite leading to obesity, intellectual and developmental disabilities, low muscle tone, and behavioral issues. This condition arises due to a genetic abnormality that affects a specific region of chromosome 15. Individuals with PWS require specialized care, as their unique needs demand a multidisciplinary approach involving medical, nutritional, and behavioral interventions. Understanding PWS is crucial for providing appropriate support and improving the quality of life for those affected by this complex syndrome.

Supporting individuals and families affected by Prader-Willi syndrome, organizations like the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association play a pivotal role. Through their dedication to raising awareness, providing resources, and offering a supportive community, they contribute to enhancing the lives of those living with PWS and their loved ones.

Continuing their impactful efforts, the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association is excited to announce their upcoming fundraising event, the 14th Annual Hunter Lens Golf Tournament. This event not only promises a day of golfing fun but also presents an opportunity to directly contribute to the support, research, and advocacy efforts for individuals and families affected by Prader-Willi syndrome.
