Triple Giving Tuesday is Coming Soon
We are thrilled to announce we will once again celebrate #GivingTuesday as Triple Giving Tuesday. Jack and Dilla Cosgrove and Family have generously pledged up to $100,000 to triple your support for research.
If you give $250, the Cosgrove family will match $750 and your gift will be worth $1,000. WOW!
We are tremendously grateful to the Cosgrove Family and encourage you to donate to our Triple Giving Tuesday campaign. The campaign will begin on Tuesday, October 17 and will continue through Tuesday, November 28. (Photo Jack Cosgrove, Dilla Cosgrove, Jill Von Ebers, Chris Quinn, Linda Tannenbaum)

End ME / CFS Worldwide Tour Continues with New Partnership
Linda Tannenbaum has been a strong supporter of Jennifer Brea since she began her extraordinary community building and advocacy efforts by founding #MEAction. We are pleased to announce that we have taken our partnership to a new level.
OMF is now an official partner of the Time for Unrest global impact campaign, which seeks to increase awareness, research, education and funding for ME. The campaign accompanies the award-winning documentary, Unrest, directed by Jennifer Brea. Since joining Jen for the film’s debut at the Sundance Film Festival, we have partnered with her at several screenings. We are delighted to include Unrest at some of our upcoming Worldwide Tour events. (*These events will screen Unrest.**Q&A with Dr. Ron Davis, Dr. Janet Dafoe and Ashley Haugen following Unrest screenings.)
Please visit the Unrest film site for complete international screening and special Q&A schedule, and visit our website to learn about upcoming Worldwide Tour visits.

Does Your Company Have An Employee Giving Campaign or Matching Gift Program?
We want to make giving to OMF easy for you. If your company has a matching gift program you can double your impact. Check with your HR department to see how you can make your gift go twice as far.
OMF is a proud charity partner of Community Health Charities (CHC). CHC is a nonprofit that raises awareness and resources for health and wellness by connecting the most trusted health charities, including OMF, across the United States with more than 17 million caring donors through workplace giving campaigns, causes, wellness programs, employee engagement, and strategic partnerships. If your employer is a partner of CHC (or any Employee Giving Campaign), please designate your gift to OMF and encourage your colleagues, family and friends too.
A Word from our CEO/President
A major focus at OMF is to keep patients informed and involved in research. Our recent Community Symposium was a perfect example of this. We brought together and educated thousands of people from around the world through the livestream and Youtube video. We will continue to use the Symposium model to keep you informed.
We know that working together as a united community we are stronger. We look forward to continuing to grow our research efforts with you as our partners.
With hope for all,
Linda Tannenbaum
