Founded by Alabama native Hank Poore, who has cerebral palsy, the Hank Poore Foundation works to expand adaptive recreation and athletic opportunities for Alabamians with disabilities.

Since its creation, the foundation has provided more than $300,000 in adaptive athletic and recreation equipment statewide.

“Having the right equipment isn’t just a luxury, it’s an essential,” one grant recipient said. “And thanks to this grant, I don’t have to worry about that.”

Donations and grant requests can be made here.
