Matching Gift Challenge: Support the PeDRA Founders’ Fellowship!
The PeDRA Board of Directors is thrilled to announce a matching gift challenge to support the future of pediatric dermatology research! From now until the end of the year, every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar* to help fund the PeDRA Founders’ Fellowship. This prestigious one-year fellowship includes an award to a meritorious applicant of the 2026 PeDRA Research Fellowship program. The Founders’ Fellow, selected by the PeDRA Board, will engage in a standard mentored Research Fellowship while enjoying special recognition and the opportunity to present their work at the 2027 PeDRA Annual Conference. Your contribution will have twice the impact, fueling groundbreaking research and empowering the next generation of leaders in pediatric dermatology.
*Gifts will be matched up to $15,000.
