Mission

The Peggy Lillis Foundation is building a nationwide colostridium difficle awareness movement by educating the public, empowering advocates, and shaping policy

Activities or mission (Part I)

Building a nationwide colostridium difficle awareness movement by educating the public empowering advocates and shaping policy

  • In 2024 Peggy Lillis Foundation (PLF) held its ninth annual National C. diff Advocacy Summit in Washington D.C. This year, we welcomed fresh perspectives and insights into the difficulties patients and healthcare professionals are facing in the battle against C diff as well as some new strategies to prevent and treat the deadly infection. We had ten presentations, ranging from more science-based, such as Breakthrough Binding Proteins: A Paradigm Shift in Primary & Recurr- ing C. diff to ones that emphasizing public awareness, like Reaching Out: Educating the Public on AMR. We also proudly hosted several panels that featured patient voices, including our Advocates Kee Kee Buckley, Pamela McCollister, Carol Raye and Maryann Webb. (Sched O)

    Expenses $71,050

  • In 2024 we held out inaugural C. diff Scientific Symposium. The virtual event brought together clinicians scientists, nurses, pharmacists, industry professionals, and patients to intermingle and hear from 23 speakers for a day of collaboration and discovery. Ranging in topics from the Epidemiology of C. diff to Health-Related Quality of Life with CDI, attendees were able to hear updates on a wide variety of topics and learn about cutting-edge research, innovative treatments, and new prevention strategies. A highlight of the day was hearing directly from patients who courageously shared their experiences through powerful testimonials. (Schedule O).

    Expenses $5,758

  • This year, our campaign these was See C. diff Diagnosed and centered around the critical need for early and accurate diagnosis of C. diff. As part of this campaign, we highlighted the 4 Elements of Diagnosing C. diff Infections, ranging from patient history to imaging. The campaign underscored the need for better understanding of C. diff diagnostic tools and equitable access, driving home that accurate diagnosis is the first step in treatment. We were able to engage millions across our social media channels and website. Peggy Lillis Foundation CEO Christian John Lillis and several PLF Advocates were featured across several notable outlets, such as CDC Safe Healthcare Blog, Pharmacy Times and Medscape.

    Expenses $2,454

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.
