An uplifting evening in Brooklyn: Fighting rare genetic disorder through philanthropy
In an extraordinary show of compassion and community resilience, Brooklyn attorneys Camille and Stefano Filippazzo are set to host their annual fundraiser, A Night of Love, A Celebration of Life, on Nov. 3, 2023, at El Caribe Country Club.
The event’s mission is as personal as it is far-reaching, aiming to generate much-needed resources for research into Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that has touched the lives of the Filippazzo family personally.
The event is organized under the auspices of the Anthony Filippazzo Grant for Williams Syndrome Research, established by the Williams Syndrome Association (WSA) in honor of the couple’s son, Anthony. The aim of the grant is to deepen the understanding of this medically complicated syndrome and potentially discover therapeutic drugs that could enhance health care outcomes for individuals with Williams syndrome.
