20 Years of Hope. One Vision: A Cure
Everyone with Coats’ Disease Deserves a Future with a Cure - That Breakthrough Starts with You!
2026 marks a remarkable milestone — the 20th anniversary of the Jack McGovern Coats’ Disease Foundation!
What began as a promise to their son, Jack, to find a cure for Coats’ Disease, the McGovern family has grown a small, grassroots effort into an international foundation, becoming the preeminent source for information and resources to help educate and support families in their fight against Coats’ Disease. We are the only organization in the world that is totally focused on finding a cure for Coats’ Disease.
Every Coats’ patient deserves hope, support, and a brighter future. For two decades, your generosity has helped fund groundbreaking research, provide support for patients and families, and build a strong, compassionate Coats’ Community around the world. Together, we’ve made incredible strides — but our work is far from over!
To celebrate 20 years of hope, we’re launching our “20 Years of Hope. One Vision: A Cure.” campaign. We are committed to continuing our work and funding promising new research identified and supported by our renowned Scientific Advisory Board. Will you help make a lasting impact with a powerful investment in the future of every child diagnosed with this rare condition?
