The Foundation - Board Profile

David Wolfe, President of the CHARGE Syndrome Foundation

I am honored and privileged to serve as the President of the CHARGE Syndrome Foundation.  My wife Jody and I and our two wonderful children, Daniel and Ethan live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.  Long before I ever knew anything about CHARGE syndrome, I obtained a B.S. in business administration from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana and my law degree from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis.  I am currently a shareholder at the Law Offices of Wolf & Wolfe, Ltd.

In 1999, Daniel was born and in 2002 our lives changed dramatically when Ethan was born with CHARGE syndrome.  He opened our eyes to what is truly important in life.  I attended my first conference in 2003, and my family and I have attended every CHARGE conference since then.  Through our involvement with the Foundation, we have made close friends, celebrated many milestones, and shared so much information.  We are all dedicated to the ongoing success of the Foundation.

Those people who have worked with me know that I firmly believe that almost anything is possible with hard work.  I brought that “it can be done” attitude to the Board when I joined in 2008.  As the Fundraising Chair, I brought new ideas to the Foundation which helped increase our revenue.  In 2009, I joined the Executive Committee as the Foundation Treasurer.  We were able to continue to increase our fundraising and control expenses. 

As your President, I will continue to work hard to advance our mission.  While we have come a long way, there is so much more we can and will do in the areas of awareness, education and research.  I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead.  Together we will take the Foundation to new heights.  Thank you for the opportunity to serve and please contact me with any questions, comments or concerns.
