On behalf of the Diamond Blackfan Anemia Foundation, Inc. (DBAF) and all of our very special families, I am honored to welcome you to our website. It is our sincere intent to educate, to inform, to empower, to support, and to connect you with the entire DBA Community.  As you navigate your way through our website, it is our hope that you will not only learn more about Diamond Blackfan Anemia, the disorder, but will also be touched by the inspirational faces of our beautiful babies, children, and adult Diamond Blackfan Anemia patients. It is because of these faces and the hundreds more unseen, in collaboration with the dedication, hard work, and the love of all our DBA families that we continue to exist. It is because of our passion to ensure our loved ones a better life that we remain solidly committed to our mission. We are forever grateful to all those who have acknowledged this mission and have heartened us with hope.

Thank you for visiting our site. We encourage you to get involved with the DBAF and to contact us. We invite you to partner with us as we continue to strive to make a difference in the lives of our children, our patients… our DBA family. We sincerely thank you for your time, your concern, your support, and for your prayers. 

With sincerity and appreciation,

Dawn M. Baumgardner
President, DBA Foundation, Inc.
