Sturge-Weber Foundation Board Welcomes New Chair, Woodrow Crouch

For Immediate Release

MT. FREEDOM, N.J./EWORLDWIRE/March 20, 2007 --- The Sturge-Weber Foundation (SWF) has announced the appointment of Woodrow W. "Woody" Crouch of Scarsdale, N.Y. as chairman of the SWF Board of Directors.

Crouch is an engineering executive who has designed and built all types of electric generating facilities. He and his wife, Mary, have two children and two grandchildren. Crouch's relationship to the SWF stems from the loss of another grandchild to complications of Sturge-Weber syndrome as an infant.

Along with participating in the SWF's annual Month of Awareness in May, 2007, Crouch's stated goal is to help focus energy on finding a means of arresting the progressive nature of the disease.

Since its incorporation in the USA as an International 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 1987, the Sturge-Weber Foundation has provided education, information and friendly support for patients, parents, professionals and others concerned with Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) - a rare congenital neurological disorder, growing to expand support for individuals with capillary vascular birthmarks, Klippel Trenaunay (KT) and Port Wine Stain (PWS).

Along with annual Mardi Gras festivities and fundraising activities, informal local family days and activities of the foundation expanded to include the first ever SWF Golf Outing on Long Island at The Nassau Country Club in Glen Cove in 2006. Foundation operations are supported by private and corporate donations and grants. The SWF also supports and instigates research into the cause of congenital port wine stain related conditions.
