While we work every day to develop therapies to fight disease, for the month of February we challenged employees and heightened awareness by highlighting different rare diseases in weekly meetings. On February 28th, we shared a pot luck lunch with a striped food theme and dressed to show off our stripes. MetrumRG employees across the country participated. We had a contest to see who had the best display of stripes and Metrum Research Group pledged a donation for each person that  participated in the stripes challenge. Check out the photos below of our day of recognition! ![](https://news.metrumrg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/map-rare-disease-final.jpeg?width=641&name=map-rare-disease-final.jpeg)  ![StripedLunch2](https://news.metrumrg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/StripedLunch2.jpg?width=2389&name=StripedLunch2.jpg) Topics: [Community Outreach](https://news.metrumrg.com/blog/topic/community-outreach) ## We love to share!
