Stichting voor Afweerstoornissen Hosts Inspiring PID Event


With pride and enthusiasm, Stichting voor Afweerstoornissen looks back on a highly successful PID event this autumn. Thanks to the support of its sponsors and community, the foundation created an inspiring day dedicated to connection, knowledge sharing and raising awareness about primary immunodeficiencies (PID). This year’s gathering brought together around 90 participants, including approximately 70 attendees alongside a committed team of volunteers and organisers. Together, they shaped a day filled with energy, recognition and meaningful conversations.

Highlights of the event included a talk show where PID patients and healthcare professionals openly shared their experiences, providing both personal and educational perspectives. Visitors also enjoyed interactive workshops that offered practical knowledge, while an engaging quiz with prizes brought fun and spirited participation. A photobooth, vlogs and professional photography captured the lively atmosphere, and healthy goodie bags ensured everyone left with a fresh boost.

The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing that they felt heard, supported and inspired. The approachable way in which knowledge and experiences were exchanged made the day truly memorable, reinforcing the foundation’s mission to build understanding and community for people living with PID.
