The Euro-Peds Foundation's mission is to enhance the quality of life for children who have gross motor disorders -
such as Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Traumatic Brain Injuries -- by raising funds and awarding grants that help them
receive life-altering intensive physical therapy and education.
Here are the current Euro-Peds Foundation Programs:
TREATMENT GRANTS:
The Euro-Peds Foundation awards treatment grants to children who are receiving intensive physical therapy at
Euro-Peds Intensive Pediatric Physical Therapy Clinic in Pontiac, MI. If your child has been approved to attend
the Euro-Peds Program and you would like to apply for a treatment grant, download the grant application on our
site.
TRAVEL GRANTS:
Many children travel with their families from out-of-state to attend Euro-Peds for sessions that last 2-4 weeks.
Airfare, gas, hotel and other travel expenses are not typically covered by insurance. EPF has established this
program to help families with out-of-pocket lodging expenses to help ease the financial burden.
ADOPT A EURO-KID PROGRAM:
At times, requests for grants may exceed the funds available through the Treatment & Travel grants. EPF is com-
mitted to helping every child so we may choose to create an Adopt A Euro-Kid fundraising page. After reviewing
the stories and needs of our Adopt A Euro-Kids, supporters may choose to donate to a specific child's Euro-Peds
session.
