Day of Caring
Each year, the ACMG Foundation hosts its signature Day of Caring, a heartwarming event in which genetics professionals come together to present specially adapted bicycles to local children with genetic conditions. For the 2026 meeting, ACMG will partner with Kennedy Krieger Institute, whose Baltimore-area patients and families will be the recipients of these custom bicycles. This uplifting event offers a powerful, visually compelling story opportunity for attending media.
