The SUDC Foundation

The SUDC Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Roseland, New Jersey, committed to addressing the tragic issue of sudden unexpected deaths in childhood (SUDC). As a small organization with one employee, the foundation focuses its efforts on raising awareness and funding critical research to better understand and prevent these untimely losses. The SUDC Foundation primarily serves families and professionals affected by SUDC, providing support and resources to navigate this challenging experience. Their efforts include funding research to uncover the causes of SUDC and advocating for policies that improve data collection and awareness surrounding this often-overlooked issue. A key achievement for the SUDC Foundation is the passage of the Sudden Unexpected Death Data Enhancement and Awareness Act, a significant step in advancing research and understanding of SUDC. This legislation, signed into law in 2014 by President Obama, highlights the foundation's commitment to driving positive change in the face of this devastating phenomenon.
