Creating a brighter tomorrow for individuals with Primary Immunodeficiency.The Yellow Bear Foundation is a nonprofit organization empowering communities to increase awareness and fund research for Primary Immunodeficiency (PI) to improve the diagnosis, treatment and quality of life for those who have PI.
When an infection is more than just an infection.The most important function of our immune system is to protect us from infections. But what if your immune system isn’t functioning properly or is incomplete? This is a reality for one in 10 Americans who have a Primary Immunodeficiency (PI). Individuals with PI are more susceptible to infections in their skin, sinuses, throat, ears, lungs, brain and spinal cord, as well as the urinary and intestinal tracts. As a result, those with PI can endure recurrent health problems as well as serious and debilitating illnesses. Find out more about PI and how you can help!
Rare disease isn't rare.Primary immunodeficiency impacts so many people, and yet there is still a lot of research that needs to be done to establish better diagnostic protocols and develop treatment plans for people with PI disorders. Our purpose is to ignite the conversation and empower communities to spread awareness for PI and raise funds for life-changing research and treatment.
