This Thanksgiving holiday, the SoAR Foundation reflects upon all that we are thankful for. Our thoughts are with all those who are suffering from COVID-19 and those who have lost family and friends in the U.S. and around the world. We are grateful that there is strong progress on vaccines. Though socializing outside our immediate households is ill-advised, we appreciate being able to communicate virtually with our loved ones. The SoAR team is also tremendously grateful to our founder, Dr. William Danforth, who passed away in September.
