Think Zebra! – When you hear hoof beats, think zebras, not horses.


Welcome to THINK ZEBRA!, the Immune Deficiency Foundation's campaign to raise funds and promote awareness of primary immunodeficiency diseases.

In medical school, many doctors learn the saying, “when you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras”, and are taught to focus on the likeliest possibilities when making a diagnosis, not the unusual ones. However, sometimes physicians need to look for a zebra. Patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases are the zebras of the medical world. So IDF says THINK ZEBRA!  Let’s teach the world about “ZEBRAS” while raising funds to help promote awareness of primary immunodeficiency diseases.

Below, please find the downloadable THINK ZEBRA! kit contents, with everything you need to get started.  What better way to raise funds and promote awareness of primary immunodeficiency diseases, while helping to save lives!  Money raised will help fund patient and physician education and awareness.

IDF cannot succeed without your help!
We challenge you to raise as much as you can.  Gifts at all levels are greatly appreciated and ALL participants, no matter how much they raise, will be recognized.   Although we hope you will support THINK ZEBRA!, we realize everyone’s financial circumstances are different and we hope you will make a gift at whatever level you feel comfortable.

To request a packet or bracelets, please contact FrontDesk@primaryimmune.org or 800.296.4433.

If you have any questions about THINK ZEBRA!, please contact Allison Mayberry, Director of Development, at amayberry@primaryimmune.org or 443.632.2555.

Thank you for your efforts on behalf of the Immune Deficiency Foundation. And remember to THINK ZEBRA!
