Fall not only means back to school, it also means Fall SCADaddles! This fall, we have two SCADaddles:

San Diego (CA) (Sept. 6), register by 8/17 to guarantee your t-shirt
Pittsburgh (PA) (Oct. 5), register by 9/1 to guarantee your t-shirt

Join us for comradery, refreshments and lots of fun while raising funds for research. You’ll help to increase SCAD awareness too!

SCADaddles are our major fundraisers. We have raised and donated over $1.6 million to research since 2011. Most of our funds have gone to the Mayo Clinic SCAD Research Program, Rochester, MN.


Can’t make it in person and want to donate?

SCAD Social and Dinner

A SCAD Reunion will take place the evening before each of the SCADaddles. The Reunion is especially for SCAD Survivors, their supporters and families and friends who have lost a loved one to SCAD, our SCAD Angels.

Besides meeting others impacted by SCAD, you will also have an opportunity to learn more about SCAD after the dinner:

Sept. 6, San Diego, CA: Dr. Sharonne Hayes from Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Dr. Hayes started the SCAD Research Program at Mayo Clinic and is an internationally recognized SCAD expert. Reservations due September 1.

Oct. 5, Pleasant Hills, PA: Dr. Agnes Koczo from UPMC – Women’s Cardiovascular Disease, Pittsburgh, PA. Dr. Koczo has a particular focus on cardiovascular disease which exclusively or disproportionately impacts women such as SCAD. Reservations due September 25.
