The MAGIC Foundation (short for Major Aspects of Growth in Children[2]) is an American non-profit organization which helps families of children diagnosed with a wide variety of different growth impacting medical conditions through education, networking, physician referrals and numerous other services.
Their services include public education and awareness, quarterly newsletters, national networking, an annual convention, disorder specific brochures, and a Kids Program.
Physicians specialising in these disorders, from all over the world, volunteer to speak to and assist the children and affected adults.
It was thought that the money was to undertake case finding of children with short stature who might benefit from their human growth hormone treatments.
