The Human Growth Foundation established HGF Family Day in response to the U.S. Senate's groundbreaking Growth Awareness Resolution, S. Res. 489, in 2014. This resolution underscored the importance of monitoring children's growth patterns as indicators of overall health.

“If a child is not growing at the normal rate, that can be a clear indication of something wrong with the child’s overall health,” says Dr. Pisit (“Duke”) Pitchukewannont, president of the Human Growth Foundation. “The first step to helping the child is awareness, early diagnosis, and treatment. That is why the HGF Family Day is so important for families.”

Families of all sizes and ages are encouraged to join this impactful day.

Only $5 per family of five. Individual Registration is $15 per person.

Registration is now open at www.HGFound.org/events.
