Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, one of the most livable cities in the United States with culture, activities, events and local and national charities that need your help in these special times.

The Special Friends Foundation (SFF) is a nonprofit organization established in 1997 by Chris and Carol Garavente. Their son, Louis, is diagnosed with Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome. The Special Friends Foundation is dedicated to providing information and resources to individuals with RTS and their families. The Foundation provides assistance to cover expenses incurred due to RTS that are not covered by medial insurance or Medicaid. SFF is honored to have worked directly with Dr. Rubinstein. The Special Friends Foundation continues to work with the University Affiliated Cincinnati Center for Development Disorders to support ongoing RTS research and the Louis Garavente Database for RTS research.
My son Kade has this rare syndrome and he is 16 years old now. We live in the greater Pittsburgh area in Pennsylvania --and he attends a school that provides his therapies but some families do not have that and is desperately needed for them to function.
