Rebecca Bazzoni, executive director for Joe’s Kids, was recently notified that AWS Foundation has awarded Joe’s Kids a $300,000 grant.
Joe’s Kids is a nonprofit pediatric rehabilitation clinic that provides physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and tutoring services to help each child reach their maximum level of independence. This grant will help offset the cost of renovating their new facility, according to a news release from Joe’s Kids.
“Joe’s Kids knows too many kids are on the waitlist for services,” says AWS Foundation CEO Patti Hays. “With a new home, they will have the space needed to hire more staff to give children the therapies they need to reach their potential. AWS Foundation is pleased to provide some of the financial support for them to reach their goal.”
“We feel very blessed that AWS Foundation believes in our mission and understands our dedication and passion for serving our children,” Bazzoni stated.
“This new facility will serve as Joe’s Kids forever home, this funding will allow us to make some of the renovations needed to meet the operational needs of our new clinic,” she continued. These renovations would not have been possible without the funding from AWS Foundation.
