Red Hat Challenge Fund
The Endowment and the GRF offer the Red Hat Fund, which will foster continued collaboration towards the longevity of the SCWT, as symbolized in the poem "When I Am Old, I Shall Wear Purple" adapted for the GRF.
The Wheaten Health Endowment is happy to announce the creation of the “Red Hat Challenge Fund” — a collaboration with the SCWT Genetic Research Foundation (“GRF”), a certified non-profit corporation. Proceeds will aid with the funding of the Wheaten Health Database at www.scwtdb.org and continue to bring attention to projects dedicated to SCWT genetic research.
Jackie Gottlieb
This Fund has been created to honor Jackie Gottlieb and the late Carol Carlson whose dedication and commitment to the betterment and health of the SCWT helped create the two research funding organizations. For decades, Jackie and Carol collaborated in numerous fundraising and research efforts on behalf of Wheatens. Jackie led the GRF for many years while Carol led the Endowment at the same time.

The collaboration has established a goal amount for the fund of $40,000. The GRF will donate an initial $10,000, and through October 2022, they will match the next $15,000 in donations to the Endowment for a total GRF contribution of $25,000. This will further expand our community's commitment to Wheaten genetic research and for the continued expansion, support and maintenance of the SCWT Database.
