EndoFound’s 12th Annual Blossom Ball is on Friday, May 3rd at Gotham Hall in New York City. Blossom Ball is a night to celebrate all those who have worked so hard for the endometriosis cause. The Blossom Ball is an elegant and fun evening to raise money so EndoFound can continue its important advocacy work, outreach, and education to schools, and fund landmark research that gets us each year closer to a cure.
I hope you will mark this date in your calendar and join us for an evening of celebrating all those who have worked so hard for the endometriosis cause!
