Artist of the Year 2025 Winners: Celebrating Creativity and Hope

A special blog contribution from our 2025 FPWR Art Auction Participants.

Our 2025 Artist of the Year competition was a tremendous success, raising more than $25,000 to advance Prader-Willi and Schaaf-Yang syndrome research! We are deeply grateful to every extraordinary artist who took part.

Each participant created a handmade piece for our annual Art Auction and shared their personal story to inspire support for PWS and SYS research. Their creativity, courage, and generosity are helping drive new treatments and brighter futures.

We’re proud to spotlight our Artist of the Year, Dinah White, and honor the incredible artistry of our top participants. Together, they’re showing the world what’s possible — and why continued research matters.

Their stories fuel progress. Swipe through the slideshow below to meet our 2025 winners!
