Mission Statement
The John Kerr Foundation exists to empower the lives of persons living with Muscular Dystrophy through creating opportunities for furthering higher education and independent living, mainstreaming into society, while increasing self-worth and enhancing community awareness.
About This Cause
The John Kerr Foundation empowers the lives of persons living with Muscular Dystrophy (MD) through an annual Life-Enhancing Retreat to teach young adults with MD how to live independently, go to college, find employment, manage their health care, dating & relationships and much more. The Foundation provides educational scholarships to allow the pursuit of higher education and provides grants allowing for life enhancing activities; (i.e. medical equipment, travel, group retreats, etc.), and tools for furthering independence and better overall health. The Foundation serves as a resource for young adults who are transitioning into adulthood and independence. Additionally, the Foundation provides resources to families of children with disabilities and adults of all ages with Muscular Dystrophy.
