Horizon Therapeutics plc Wins 2022 International CSR Excellence Award for #RAREis Adoption Fund

By: via Business Wire

Horizon Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: HZNP) today announced the company has won an International Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Excellence Award for its partnership with Gift of Adoption to co-create the #RAREis Adoption Fund. As part of the award, Horizon will be formally recognized in the next CSR World Leaders report, which will be published in November 2022.

Horizon partners with Gift of Adoption to support children with rare diseases who are adopted from orphanages around the world so they can thrive with their new families. The initial $150,000 in 2019, established the #RAREis Adoption Fund, which has provided adoption assistance to unite more than 45 children living with rare disease with their new families in the United States. Thirty-five of the children were born and living outside the United States prior to being adopted. Resources provided by the Fund ensure the child comes home for the important first step to receiving much needed medical care and becoming part of the family. The adoptive family can then address critical needs such as diagnosis, specialized care and complex treatment, and the intensified biopsychosocial needs that accompany caring for a child with a rare disease.

“We are honored to win this award and be recognized as a 2022 CSR World Leader for our work with Gift of Adoption because it shows how the power of partnership and shared missions can transform lives,“ said Tim Walbert, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Horizon. “Since our founding a little more than a decade ago, Horizon has sought out meaningful opportunities to foster relationships with communities and the direct beneficiaries of our support, which has led to life changing results.”

The International CSR Excellence Awards recognize companies around the world that have demonstrated a commitment to corporate social responsibility, going beyond normal business practices to benefit others.
