New Fundraising Event

We have started another fundraising event. Our milestone to raise $2000 was reached at the end of February. The University of Florida is in the process of setting up a site for donations at the university and also a website that contains up to date information about Dr. Bloom's Ribozyme HSV study.

The University of Fl needs $300,000 to get through the preclinicals for the HSV2 study and $100,000 to get through the preclinicals for the HSV1 study.

I will post more later....

Thank you for your support.

Donations Have Started Coming In

Thank you to those who have donated to help kick-start the online donation system for U of Fl HSV researchers.  We have received a total of $100 in donations thus far.  Our goal is to reach the initial $2000 that will help jump start the online donation tool for future online donations to the U of FL HSV researchers.

Thank you again for your contribution and support.

Have a wonderful New Year!!

Raise Funds for U of Fl HSV Researchers

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the Red Dots Philanthropy Blog.

The RDP is currently raising funds for HSV researchers at the University of Florida.  The researchers at U of Fl needs an initial donation of $2000 to help establish an online donation system that will directly pool funds for the HSV researchers.  Once we, the community, help raise the initial funds, then future donations can be made directly to U of Fl.  Donations do not need to be an exorbitant amount from one donor.  If each person donates $1.00 to $5.00, then we can reach our goal easily.  Let's come together to help the researchers develop a method to prevent HSV!!  

Learn about the Novel Method for Preventing Recurrence of Herpes Simplex Virus at U of Fl....... (first entry to the thread on the message board).   Also, from a much more scientific perspective, read about U of Fl, Hammerhead Ribozymes (1) and (2).
