BOSTON, Sept. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entrada Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:TRDA) today announced the recipients of its third annual DREAMS Grant Program. Jett Foundation (U.S.) and Parent Project aps (Italy) will each be awarded $50,000 to support programs that are working to better identify, understand and reach members of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy community who are currently underrepresented or underserved.
"Since the beginning, our commitment to the Duchenne community has gone beyond therapeutic development. In fact, one of the most meaningful parts of our work at Entrada is engaging with and learning from patients and families around the world. Expanding this year's DREAMS Grant Program applicant pool to include organizations based in the U.S., EU and U.K. showcases this commitment in action," said Dipal Doshi, Chief Executive Officer at Entrada Therapeutics. "Jett Foundation and Parent Project aps are driving long-term, transformative change for those living with Duchenne in the U.S. and Italy, and we look forward to their ongoing efforts to address critical needs of the Duchenne community while promoting inclusivity, equity and accessibility for all."
Entrada DREAMS Grant Recipients
- Jett Foundation is a US-based non-profit organization headquartered in Massachusetts, committed to extending and enriching the lives of individuals affected by Duchenne. The foundation empowers families and builds community through its family support services, educational initiatives and adaptive recreational opportunities. Funds from the 2025 DREAMS Grant will support the organization's Camp Promise, the foundation's year-round, no-cost program designed to support individuals living with Duchenne and other neuromuscular disorders – specifically those aged 18 and older who are often excluded from traditional recreational programming. With the grant support, Jett Foundation aims to empower more than 250 campers in 2025 through programming focused on independent living, self-advocacy and employment preparation.
- Parent Project aps is an Italian non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy and their families. Founded by parents, the organization focuses on promoting scientific research, improving access to care and advocating for policies that enhance quality of life. The DREAMS Grant will enable Parent Project aps to deliver home-based care and teleconsultation services to families living in underserved regions of Southern Italy who face systemic barriers such as limited access to specialized clinics, transportation challenges and fragmented health and social services. The initiative will ensure continuity of clinical, psychological and social support for families while addressing inequities in care access and creating a replicable model tailored to marginalized communities.
Entrada thanks its independent grant review committee of respected neuromuscular leaders and advocates who selected the Entrada DREAMS Grant recipients in the third year of the annual program, including:
- Sean Baumstark, Founder, de:terminence and Co-Host, Two Disabled Dudes Podcast

"Being part of the Entrada DREAMS Grant Review Committee for the past three years has been truly meaningful for me," said Keisha Greaves, Founder of Girls Chronically Rock and Chief Executive Officer of GCR Adaptive Solutions. "As a woman living with muscular dystrophy and an advocate for disability representation, I know how important it is to uplift organizations that are creating real change in our community. It was powerful to read through so many inspiring applications, and I'm proud to have played a role in supporting this important work. I can't wait to see how these grantees continue to impact lives in the Duchenne space and beyond."
