Chromosome 18 Registry and Research Society is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals with rare chromosome 18 conditions overcome the obstacles they face so they may lead healthy and productive lives. Chromosome 18 conditions are genetic abnormalities that lead to our special-needs children being born with a wide array of physical challenges like difficulty hearing, walking, and cognitive challenges like learning disabilities and autism. We raise funds to support the research into these conditions at UT Health, and also offer support, community, and connection for affected families.

Brennan, Holmes, and Stinson students will then rally at the distribution in the spring, just in time to make sure that any student, grades PK-12, will have books to read during the summer.
