Reverse Rett DC 2026

We’re so excited for our 2026 event.

Last year you, our generous supporters, contributed over $550,000 to advance research on Rett syndrome! With your help again, we can beat that this year and have an even bigger impact on moving us closer to a cure for 350,000 children and adults who struggle with this devastating disorder. Every sponsorship and donation goes to the Rett Syndrome Research Trust, a non-profit organization that spends an average of 94% of its funding on the research that will change lives.


This year our theme is:  LACE UP FOR A CURE—Sneaker Soiree.  So wear your sneaks and join us for a really fun and impactful evening! We can’t wait to see you.

Thank you!
