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.

Join Jack Bear at the LaGrange Pet Parade!

The Jack Bear Foundation is excited to participate in the beloved annual La Grange Pet Parade on Saturday, May 30th as the community celebrates this year’s theme, “Marching Through the Decades.”

Our group will represent the 2000s and will feature special musical guest Patrick Gemkow as part of the fun. Be sure to look for the Jack Bear crew at parade spot #112, with our group stepping off beginning at 10:30 AM!

We are honored to join this wonderful community tradition and look forward to celebrating alongside families, friends, and supporters while continuing to raise awareness for SCAR-15 research.

We hope to see you along the parade route! 🧸💿
