| The Brendan B. McGinnis Congenital CMV Foundation is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) dedicated to raising public awareness about congenital CMV, to raise donations to support research for a vaccine for CMV, and to affect change in the medical community so that physicians will begin to test women for CMV prior to pregnancy. Ultimately, our mission is to save babies yet to be born from suffering the often devastating consequences of congenital CMV by eradicating this common but potentially life-altering virus. |

- For many years, families affected by CMV have not had an outlet designed specifically for them.
As such, we have organized this fun and informative gathering for families with children affected
by CMV.
The 4 day event includes expert guest speakers as well as parent speakers. There is plenty of
formal and informal question & answer time throughout the entire event. As well, one entire
day, "Fun-day Friday", is spent as a group in the water park with all of our families together!
This is a fantastic opportunity for families affected by congenital CMV to build community, to
share stories, advice, ideas, and undoubtedly some tears of both joy and sorrow. Our
Foundation is honored to bring this special event each year to CMV-affected families across the
world, providing the much needed support and unity within our special community of families.
Start making your plans now and we will see you all there!!
