California Children's Rehabilitation Foundation (CCRF) seeks to improve the quality of lives for children with special needs and their families.
CCRF was established in 2007, and each year the Board of Directors and numerous volunteers work diligently on a new project. All donations generously come from friends and supporters in the community. We rely on gracious individuals and corporations who feel compassion for these young individuals facing various challenges, whether those challenges are physical or cognitive.
Children who have difficulty fighting infections are often in isolation, meaning they are unable to participate with therapists in the gym or in other areas of the hospital. This year we are raising funds to be used in pediatric patients' rooms at Miller Children's and Women's Hospital Long Beach.
In the past ten years, CCRF has donated equipment for pool therapy, sensory integration, augmentative communication, spinal cord medicine, adaptive bicycles, and Bioness. This equipment has benefited patients with cerebral palsy, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy, autism and cancer.
We have donated this therapy equipment to Miller Children's and Women's Hospital Long Beach, Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, and California Aquatic Therapy and Wellness Center to be used by children and teens in Southern California, including Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
