Welcome to Chromosome 18 Events
Pennies for Perri 2026

Join us for our 4th Annual Pennies for Perri!
Hosted by the Poggio family, proud advocates of all individuals affected by chromosome 18 conditions, including their daughter, Perri. She was diagnosed with distal 18q deletion, a rare genetic disorder at the age of 9 weeks. At a time when they felt hopeless and fearful, The Chromosome 18 Registry & Research Society provided them a sense of community and invaluable medical guidelines to navigate her diagnosis. The Poggio’s felt a strong purpose to give back which is why they started an annual charity event benefitting C18- Pennies for Perri.
Celebrate with us Saturday, March 7th from 4:00pm to 9:00pm for an unforgettable evening on the water at the Harborside Restaurant & Ballroom in Newport Beach, CA, featuring incredible food, an open bar, live music, a magician, exciting raffles, and both silent and live auctions. It’s a night to connect, celebrate progress, and make a real difference—together.
