Save the Date: 29th Annual Convention
Embassy Suites by Hilton O'Hare Rosemont · Chicago, IL · July 23-25, 2026Help Send a Family to Friends!
Friends’ mission is to provide support, education and empowerment to young people who stutter, their families, and clinicians. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to come to our annual convention and receive the invaluable support of our stuttering community. Our hope is to support as many families as possible in joining us.
We receive a record number of scholarship applications each year. We are thrilled that so many families have found Friends, and while we are offering more scholarships than we ever have before, we are unable to meet the needs fully.
If you feel moved to help a family attend the convention, please consider donating to our scholarship fund. 100% of your gift goes directly to scholarships. To learn why our scholarship program is essential, and how your donation gives families access to the support, education, and community they need, visit our scholarship page here.
If you prefer to donate by check, please mail your check to Friends, 278 Shady Brook Drive, Langhorne, PA 19047, and make a note on the memo line that your donation is for scholarships. We will mail you a donation receipt.
