Illumination is a vibrant Halloween party where artistry and philanthropy unite. Set amidst a radiant spectacle of interactive installations and glowing processions, this event is more than just a celebration. It's a chance to support rare disease research, specifically RVCL, in a playground of light. Engage with illuminated characters, participate in fiery parades, and immerse yourself in the delightful luminosity. Your participation helps us shine a light on the path to discovery. Let's illuminate the night and the future of RVCL research together.

The event raises awareness and funds for RVCL research.

Leading the cure for Retinal Vasculopathy with Cerebral Leukoencephalopathy (RVCL)

The Clayco Foundation is determined to find a cure for Retinal Vasculopathy with Cerebral Leukoencephalopathy (RVCL). RVCL is a rare and fatal genetic condition affecting the central nervous system, causing the deterioration of small blood vessels in the brain and eyes of those affected. Most patients begin experiencing vision loss and strokes in their early 40s and have an average lifespan of eight years following their first symptoms. Rare disease affects nearly all of us. Thirty million people in the United States live with some form of the rare disease; that’s close to 1 in 10 people. We can make a difference by building on last year’s success.

We look forward to your partnership and exceeding our goals.
