For the past decade, the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Fund (APMRF) has joined forces with the Notre Dame Men’s Rugby team to host the Parseghian Cup. Each year, teams come together to raise awareness and funds for the APMRF's efforts to find a cure for Niemann-Pick Type C disease.
About the Parseghian Fund:
The APMRF is a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a treatment or cure for Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease—a genetic, cholesterol storage disorder that primarily strikes children with death occurring before or during adolescence. The Parseghian Fund is named in honor of Ara Parseghian, the much-beloved and well-known Notre Dame Football Coach, whose three youngest grandchildren were diagnosed with NPC in 1994. The Parseghian Fund supports NPC-focused medical research grants, which is the key to saving the lives of all those around the world afflicted with NPC disease.
