Why Our Work Matters

The world wasn't built for people with disabilities, but we know it can and should be. 

Prevention initiatives are improving outcomes for high-risk pregnancies, new therapies and technologies are helping people achieve milestones once thought impossible, and families are empowered with better tools and resources.  

Every dollar raised fuels progress in these areas, and every person who joins our community helps accelerate the pace of change. Together, we’re not just imagining a better future for children and adults with disabilities — we’re creating it.
