Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse’s Post

Tonight we will be lit up blue and green as we join people around the globe to mark World Neurofibromatosis (NF) Awareness Day. Neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that affects 1 in every 3,000 people worldwide, causes tumors to grow on nerve pathways anywhere in the body, leading to potential complications such as blindness, deafness, bone abnormalities, disabling pain, and even cancer. This cause is particularly close to our hearts. Our signature Wine & Gold Bow Tie pins symbolize our REG family’s fight against NF, a battle that deeply affected Nick Gilbert, the son of our Chairman Dan Gilbert and his wife Jennifer. Nick, who became a beloved figure when he represented the Cavaliers at the 2011 NBA Draft Lottery with his signature bow tie, bravely fought NF1 for years before his untimely passing last year. His legacy of perseverance and joy continues to inspire us all.
