Our Mission
To assist children with special needs and children at risk of child abuse in meeting important needs that may be unmet by traditional funding sources.
Our Vision
To serve as a unique resource for helping families in need by providing small grants in the following areas:
- To assist families of children with disabilities who have unmet special needs that hinder their children’s efforts to reach their maximum potential;
- To assist families with children at risk of child abuse in need of educational and supportive resources that promote effective parenting, strengthen the family unit, encourage positive interactions among family members and foster the development of healthy family relationships.
The Inspiration
Kevin Summerton Roberts, for whom the Foundation has been named, is an exuberant young man whose courage, patience and determination in facing the obstacles of his everyday life are an inspiration to many. Although his own potential contribution to the world is as yet unknown, his legacy of caring established by the Foundation bearing his name is expected to be of lasting significance to children in need.
The Foundation was launched in December 2000 with a contribution from Kevin’s then-four-year-old brother, Ryan, who donated the entire contents of his piggy bank – 83¢ – “for the kids who need our help”.
“What a blessing your Foundation has been to so many children for so many years! The impact of your important work will be felt for generations. What an amazing legacy for your Foundation’s namesake!”
