Mission: 22Q Texas is run by volunteers whose families are affected by 22q. Our mission at 22Q Texas is to provide support and resources to individuals with 22q11.2 Chromosome differences (22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, VCFS, Di George Syndrome, 22q11.2 duplication, 22q11.2 distal deletion), their families, professionals, and the community in Texas.
Results: The annual 22Q Texas Family Camp and Retreat is by far our most popular, impactful program. It is truly a unique family experience. When one person in a family faces a challenge it affects the whole family. Our retreat provides a safe environment for those with 22Q and the families who love them. The weekend is often life-changing. For many it is the 1st time to meet another family affected by 22Q and the 1st time they realize they are not alone. Kids participate in fun, challenging activities, building independence & confidence by doing things they thought were impossible. Parents and siblings are empowered, educated and connected with a strong support system. Families bond together and leave with renewed strength and hope. The retreat regularly draws more than 100 attendees, and has grown to over 200 guests this year. Expenses for the retreat are expected to exceed $36,000.However, families attend at little or no cost, with all meals, lodging & activities provided. Your support will help make this wonderful retreat a reality!
