This is a national non-profit organization providing support and education regarding growth disorders in children and related adult disorders, including adult GHD. The MAGIC Foundation is dedicated to helping children whose physical growth is affected by a medical problem, by assisting families of afflicted children through local support groups, public education/awareness, newsletters, specialty divisions (such as the Growth Hormone Deficiency Division), and programs for the children (pen pals/newsletters/birthday club).
MAGIC publishes a quarterly newsletter The Magic Touch that is free with membership or in case of financial need membership is free. The children produce a newsletter of their own called The Magic Kids. There are also pamphlets and brochures available and a video "Just say yes to Growth Hormone". MAGIC supports local groups and provides parent-to-parent matching through networking forms that connect families with the same disorder.
