About us
The Jeffrey Modell Foundation (JMF) is a global nonprofit dedicated to early diagnosis, meaningful treatments, and ultimately, cures for Primary Immunodeficiency (PI) through awareness, advocacy, and research. Vicki and Fred Modell established JMF in 1987 in memory of their son, Jeffrey, who died at the age of 15 due to complications from Primary Immunodeficiency (PI). PIs are a group of more than 450 genetic disorders of the immune system that are chronic, serious, and often fatal. PIs affect an estimated 10 million people worldwide. To date, JMF has established a global centers network including over 900 physicians at 402 medical institutions in 87 countries, funded millions of dollars in innovative research for treatments and cures, implemented newborn screening programs in the United States and abroad, and spearheaded a genetic sequencing initiative called Jeffrey's Insights with a goal of 10,000 patients sequenced. Additionally, JMF's awareness-raising activities have reached millions around the world, encouraging early diagnosis and improved quality of life. Join our mission to #CurePI worldwide.

Meet Alyssa, a plasma donor hero from Massachusetts! Alyssa's daughter, Audrey, receives weekly plasma treatments for PI, and Alyssa likes to imagine that one day, her own plasma might help Audrey. She donates a few times a month and often shares Audrey's story with fellow donors. Alyssa’s favorite part of donating is knowing that she’s making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Thank you, Alyssa, for your dedication to helping save lives! 💪💛 #IPAW #IPAW2024 #PlasmaSavesLives #DonatePlasma

Did you know that #plasma, the liquid component of blood, consists of approximately 92% water and 7% protein? These proteins are vital for creating medicines that treat and prevent serious health conditions, such as #PrimaryImmunodeficiency. Since proteins are present in only small quantities in our blood, it requires several donations to produce just one treatment dose. By donating plasma, you're offering hope and the opportunity for others to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.💛 Find a plasma donation center near you: https://bit.ly/3W6Ia1Q #PlasmaSavesLives #IPAW #IPAW2024 #DonatePlasma

Dr. Jennifer Puck’s groundbreaking work in developing the TREC test has revolutionized #NewbornScreening for SCID, giving babies a fighting chance with early diagnosis. Thanks to her efforts, SCID screening is now part of the standard newborn panel in all 50 states, dramatically improving survival rates. Dr. Puck’s hope for the future is to expand early detection to other primary immunodeficiencies.

Meet Dawson, the FIRST newborn in the U.S. to be diagnosed with severe #PrimaryImmunodeficiency through the pilot #NewbornScreening program for #SCID in Wisconsin, supported by JMF. Today, Dawson is thriving—happy, healthy, and passionate about playing football! 💙 Dawson’s mom, Melissa, says he has the best outlook on life and even stepped out of his comfort zone and gave a speech this year to the WFCA all star football players about raising money for Children’s of Milwaukee! Melissa credits #NewbornScreening with saving Dawson’s life as they would have never even known he was sick before it was too late otherwise. For other parents of children with PI, Melissa wants to share that although this diagnosis is scary, your child can live with the promise of many tomorrows because of #NBS. Dawson is a very normal 16 year old who plays video games with his 3 brothers, coaches flag football and “enjoys the heck out of life!” Read more about Dawson’s story here: https://bit.ly/3ZxxMCk
