🧬 Help Rewrite the Future for Children with SPG4

The Lilly and Blair Foundation is raising critical funds to advance gene therapy and treatment options for children living with de novo SPG4—a rare and progressive neurological condition. Your support today fuels science, hope, and a path toward a cure.

Double Your Donation – Matched Up to $25,000

Last year, a matching gift made at our golf tournament sparked something powerful. This year, that spark has grown into a movement.

Families from across the country, each raising a child with de novo SPG4, have come together to build a $25,000 match. They’ve seen the science. They know the urgency. And they’re determined to keep this work moving forward.

All donations made by May 30 at 8 PM will be matched, dollar-for-dollar—to accelerate progress and protect momentum when it matters most.

Browse & Bid in the Silent Auction, sponsored by ECRS

Check out our incredible lineup of silent auction items generously donated by local businesses and supporters. From wine tastings to weekend getaways, every bid supports our mission—but please note: bids do not count toward the donation match. Scroll to the very top and click on "Auction" to view items.

Bidding closes on Friday, May 30 at 8 pm ET and payment is due after the auction closes (on-site or by follow-up email)

Winners attending the event can pay and pick up items in person. Others can check out directly on the auction site, and we’ll either mail your item or coordinate pickup if noted in the item description. It’s quick, secure, and open to everyone.

However You Give, Thank You
