The Sturge-Weber Syndrome is a congenital medical condition characterized by facial port-wine stain and varying degrees of glaucoma and/or seizure disorder. Incorporated in 1987, The Sturge-Weber Foundation became an international resource for individuals and families affected and living with Sturge-Weber Syndrome*(SWS) and Port Wine Stain related conditions.
The Foundation’s commitment is to improve the quality of life and care for those affected by supporting individuals and families through guidance, advocacy, referrals and education while building partnerships to research the cause and management of port wine birthmark conditions. In 1992, the mission was expanded to serve one million individuals with Port Wine Stains and Klippel-Trenaunay. This mission is fulfilled by committed volunteers and a dedicated staff.
