About The Snow Foundation

The mission of the Snow Foundation is to make a difference in the future of medicine and of society by promoting and conducting cutting-edge clinical and basic science research on Wolfram syndrome and diabetes and to raise awareness of Wolfram syndrome and diabetes in health professionals and the general public.

Why is St. Louis ground zero for Wolfram’s research? It all comes down to one very special little girl. Raquel Gebel is the granddaughter of the late Jack Snow, Notre Dame All-American and the “Voice of the St. Louis Rams,” and the niece of J.T. Snow, former San Francisco Giants first baseman and six-time Golden Glove winner. In 2010, Raquel was diagnosed with Wolfram syndrome: a rare disease that presents as Type 1 Diabetes and ultimately progresses to vision loss, hearing loss and cognitive decline. Tragically, 60% of patients affected by Wolfram syndrome die by their 30th birthday. Raquel’s mom Stephanie Snow Gebel helped form the Snow Foundation team of doctors and researchers to assist Raquel and other kids around the world fighting the deadly disease.

The Snow Foundation plays a central role in supporting research being conducted at Washington University School of Medicine and supporting international collaborative research efforts. An effective drug for Wolfram syndrome can be useful for the treatment of more prevalent forms of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. The Snow Foundation enables researchers to achieve their goal and make a difference in the future of patients with diabetes.
