SCAR-15

A foundation committed to finding treatment and a cure for individuals living with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Recessive Type 15, a rare degenerative genetic disease.

Following the success of last year’s Jack Bear Foundation Launch Party, we’re excited to return this fall with the SCAR-15 Soiree: Raising the Bar for Research. This special evening will bring together families, friends, and advocates to celebrate the progress made and energize the next phase of SCAR-15 and RUBCN gene research.

Since launching in February 2024, the foundation has raised over $445,000 to support scientific discovery and outreach for this ultra-rare condition. With more than 200 guests expected, the Soiree promises a night of inspiration, community, and continued momentum for the Jack Bear mission. Hope to see you there!
