Grant to help children become mobile again.
Variety of Greater Kansas City has awarded a grant in support of our Pediatric and Adolescent Program. The grant will fund a standing frame used in therapy to increase a child’s ability to walk (assisted or unassisted) by improving their weight bearing capacity, increasing their bone density and preparing their leg muscles and joints for walking. This new equipment will help improve the mobility of children whose abilities have been compromised by a spinal cord injury, spina bifida, cerebral palsy or other neurological condition.
We're advancing rehabilitation services for children and adults with disabilities with a $7,000,000 capital campaign! The campaign will enable us to expand program space, improve parking and access to our services and strengthen our endowment.
