Puttin’ for PKU is Thursday, September 21, 2023 and registration will be opening soon!
Join us for an 18 hole scramble style tournament to raise money and awareness for PKU. Proceeds go to research into new treatment and a potential cure for PKU and to help families support the dietary needs of the family member(s) with PKU. Contact Becca Williams at beccapku@gmail.com with any questions.
Once diagnosed (usually within 3 to 5 days of birth), a newborn is referred to a PKU specialist. In Minnesota, PKU patients may be referred to the University of Minnesota PKU Clinic, or the Mayo Clinic. The children are placed on a highly restricted and carefully monitored diet including a protein supplement. The supplement comes in many forms but a formula is the most common treatment for children with PKU.
