A Touchdown for Ty
TRYING TO REACH
THAT TOUCHDOWN
A grandparents wish for their grandson, Ty Quandt, is a touchdown in finding a cure for a progressive genetic disorder that is fatal within the first two decades of life called Niemann-Pick type C(NP-C). Ty's family and friends have come together to make that touchdown a reality. We hope you will become a member of the team to fight the opponent, NP-C.

Locally, our family has joined with the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation, which is a volunteer nonprofit organization that funds research projects that will lead to a treatment and cure for Niemann-Pick Type C disorder.
The famed Notre Dame football coach and his family have been devastated by this awful disease. Coach Parseghian's three youngest grandchildren were diagnosed with this disease in 1994. Michael, Marcia and Christa have all lost their battle with Niemann-Pick.
Every January our local community of friends, benefactors and businesses come together to honor and support Ty by presenting a benefit concert and silent auction called "Touchdown for TY" at the Horn Theater at the Community College of Southern Nevada, Cheyenne Campus. Every cent raised from this event goes to the Ara Parseghian Medical Researach Foundation.
