News & Events

In 2008, the IBRF hosted a series of intimate gatherings for families of patients who have benefited from IBRF protocols in clinical settings, as well as foundation donors at the New York Association of the Bar and other locations in New Jersey and Washington, DC. IBRF delivered updates about federal grants, as well as institutional and private endowments identified for the foundation in the coming fiscal year. The IBRF participated in a major medical research conference in October 2008 in Patterson, NJ.

In December 2007, the IBRF hosted a fundraiser at The Harvard Club of New York to honor the patient families that have benefited from IBRF-provided protocols to present — both defining goals for the immediate future as well as expanding the mission of the organization to educate the public about resources available.
