The Edie Hand Foundation is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness and money for special-needs children. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to experience life as fully as they possibly can. A specific focus of our work is children with motor dysfunction. The Foundation raises money to support organizations that treat children with motor dysfunction and other disabilities.
