about the cause
EB Research Partnership is the largest nonprofit funding research aimed at treating and ultimately curing Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a group of devastating and life-threatening skin disorders that affect children from birth. EB Research Partnership was founded by two families on separate coasts that shared a singular goal: to find a cure for their children and for all others that suffer from EB. With support from close friends Jill and Eddie Vedder, the lead singer of Pearl Jam, EB Research Partnership was founded in 2014.
EB Research Partnership has funded over $50 million in research and has funded over 120 research projects. With the support of you and your community, we will continue to invest in the most promising research projects and heal EB once and for all.
