Special Kids Fund (SKF)
is a unique, unprecedented and highly effective alliance of
schools, hospitals, and social service organizations that have
as their clear, focused goal, providing for the special needs of
children with disabilities and at-risk
youth. Our role, as an umbrella fundraising organization, is to
provide our beneficiaries with supplementary funds to help support programs for special kids.
"[Tina had]
a vision and the willingness to get involved and
claim one of society's problems as her own. She
saw a need, she rolled up her sleeves and she got
to work. I admire that kind of courage and dedication.
We could use more of it in America today. [Her]
work for the disabled is nothing short of a
miracle."

expensive equipment necessary for them to thrive.
