Walk for PI – Nonlegal Pro Bono Opportunity
The Walk for PI is the Immune Deficiency Foundation’s annual fundraising event. The Immune Deficiency Foundation is a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization that offers resources, education, and support for those living with Primary Immunodeficiency (PI), while partnering with clinicians and scientists to conduct research and promote public policy programs. The Immune Deficiency Foundation improves the diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for every person affected primary immunodeficiency and fosters a community that is connected, engaged, and empowered through advocacy, education, and research.
