About us
Who we are
The CGD Society
The Chronic Granulomatous Disorder Society (CGD Society) is based in the UK and was originally registered as a charity in 1991 under the name The Chronic Granulomatous Disorder Research Trust. Over the years, the charity has transformed from a small parent support group into a leading global source of information on Chronic Granulomatous Disorder.
What is CGD?
Chronic Granulomatous Disorder (CGD) is a life-threating and life-limiting genetic condition that can be managed with care and support. It used to be called Chrohnic Gramulomatous Disease and soemtimes doctors still use this name.
Jeans for Genes Day
In 1992, the charity came up with the fundraising idea of organising a Jeans for Genes Day, when school children and employees donate money to wear their jeans instead of their school uniform or work clothes. The day was a great success and has since become a national event in the fundraising calendar. This event is an important income stream for CGDS.
