This September, a community of researchers, families, and supporters will gather in Sydney with one clear mission: to cure Angelman syndrome.
The Unstoppable Gala Dinner, hosted by the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics (FAST) Australia, takes place on Saturday, September 20th, 2025, at the beautiful Doltone House Darling Island. It’s more than a formal evening—it’s a celebration of how far the Angelman community has come and a powerful push forward into the future.
Angelman syndrome is a rare neurogenetic disorder that causes severe developmental challenges, including cognitive and motor impairments, epilepsy, and speech limitations. At present, there is no cure—but FAST is determined to change that.
Funds raised from the Gala will fuel cutting-edge research and help fund vital support roles like specialised Angelman syndrome nurses. These investments bring hope closer to reality, opening doors to therapies that could drastically improve quality of life for individuals living with the condition.
Come be part of an evening that’s driving real change. The Unstoppable Gala Dinner is not just a celebration—it’s a catalyst. Mark your calendar for September 20th and help turn the dream of a cure into a reality.

Supporting life-changing research to find a cure
Welcome to the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics Australia
We have one goal: to cure Angelman syndrome.
FAST is a nonprofit organisation focused on advancing research and therapeutic development for Angelman syndrome. This rare genetic disorder leads to profound developmental delays, severe cognitive impairments, debilitating epilepsy, and motor issues, and tragically, there is currently no cure. Funds raised through the Gala will go directly to support research, including specialised Angelman syndrome nurses, and to accelerate the development of potential treatments and therapies that could transform the lives of those living with Angelman syndrome.
