We’re thrilled to share that Rena and Paul Rice, parents of two children with Fanconi anemia—Sydney (19) and Blake (25)—have made an extraordinary commitment to the FA community: a gift of $100,000 per year for the next three years to support the FA Family Retreat.
This generous contribution ensures that the retreat, a cherished time of connection, learning, and joy, will continue to bring families together in a space where they feel seen, supported, and understood. For many, it’s the first time meeting another family living with FA. For others, it’s an annual reunion that strengthens bonds and builds lifelong friendships.
The Rice Family’s gift reflects their deep dedication to the FA community and their desire to create lasting impact for families like theirs. We are profoundly grateful for their trust, their partnership, and their belief in the power of coming together.
“We are thankful for all those people who have come before us and helped make the lives of these children better. We are just as committed to creating lasting memories for families through fun camp experiences.”
—Rena and Paul Rice
Because of them, the FA Family Retreat will continue to be a place of hope, healing, and belonging. Thank you!
