Our Story

   Established in 2005, with a story that carries back to 1976....

  Event creator and coordinator, Sybil Kuhn, had an idea to host an event

  to raise awareness and funds for SMA after she had watched a toddler for a

   few years. During that time, the toddler was diagnosed with this disorder.

​

  Seeing first-hand how a disorder she had never heard of affected this

  toddler, Sybil knew she had to do something to assist this family and     thousands of other families affected with this life altering disease.

​

  Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a disease that robs people of physical     strength by affecting the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord, taking away   the ability to walk, eat, or breathe.

 It is the number one genetic cause of  death for infants. 

 SMA affects approximiately 1 in 11,000 births, and about 1 in every 50   Americans is a genetic carrier. SMA can affect any race or gender.

 There are four primary types of SMA- 1,2,3, and 4- based on the age that   symptoms begin, and highest physical milestone achieved.

​

  This event, held annually, is a way for communities, families and

  friends to come together, celebrating the Season, and to be a part of a 

  great cause! Wreaths of Hope is a one-day event where attendees will find

   fresh, pre-made wreaths on hand to purchase -or- attendees are 

  encouraged to build their own wreath!

  With all proceeds directly sent to finding a cure for SMA.

​

  Wreaths of Hope is another way to educate the public on this rare disease. 

   Having information on hand, at this event, to learn more about SMA.
 

                       For more information on this disease                                                               visit www.curesma.org
