Scheuermann's Disease

IMPORTANT UPDATE from The
Scheuermann's Disease Fund-PLEASE READ TO THE END
Dear Friends,
We have important news to share with you regarding our charity and events that have transpired over the last few months.
-
First and foremost, we are excited to announce the launch of a NEW AND IMPROVED WEBSITE (https://www.sdfund1.org/)! Please let us know what you think! A heartfelt thank you to Greenkat Marketing for their fantastic and expeditious work! (www.greenkatmarketing.com)
-
Also, we have news regarding our website management and donation collections. The charity had contracted with a a company, Flipcause, since 2023 to provide both of these services.

In 2025, we experienced serious delays in ACH donation transfers to the charity bank account. Months of delays. We also learned that other Flipcause non-profit clients were also being impacted by these same delays. We submitted our contract cancellation request immediately that would take effect in late December 2025.
Then on December 21st, Flipcause filed bankruptcy and it was revealed that the company owes 3,000 charities over $29 MILLION.
(For more details, you can read the article https://oaklandvoices.us/2025/12/21/flipcause-bankruptcy-chapter-11-nonprofits-owed-millions/).

Fortunately, The Scheuermann’s Disease Fund was able to recoup the donations from Flipcause before the bankruptcy filing.

However, we incurred significant unexpected but necessary expenses by contracting with a new donation/fundraising platform and a new website developer (website completed and published prior to December 26th).

We continue the process of updating and revising much of the verbiage throughout the site (please notify us of any necessary corrections).

As you can expect the last 6 months have been challenging and we truly appreciate your continued support and understanding.💜💜

When members of the Baldwin High School Class of 1983 held their 30-year reunion, Doug Strott declined to attend. “I was embarrassed because I had to use a cane,” he explained. “When I told my friends, they were kind of mad at me. But they said, ‘OK. We understand.’&rdq...
