Who Benefits?
Families with children who have special needs often face lifelong medical bills and expenses.
Children grow and change very quickly, and the equipment they need must change with them.
Insurance does not always cover these costs; this is where Spin for Kids comes in. All money raised by Spin for Kids will be dispersed to qualifying families to help them get the equipment and services they need.
If you are interested in applying for funds, please review the Spin for Kids Funds Application Form.
