About Us

A Foundation Of Hope For Children With Cerebral Palsy (RFTS, Inc.).

Launched in late 2004, RFTS, Inc. is the only national non profit pediatric cerebral palsy foundation led by parents.  RFTS is committed to advocacy, education and driving research to serve the needs of children with Cerebral Palsy and those families and care givers involved in their care.

RFTS, Inc. is an international advocacy and research organization started by, and for, the parents of children with Cerebral Palsy — centered on the belief that leading-edge pediatric research can lead to new treatments of CP and deliver measurable improvements in the lives of impacted children and their families. Research for CP, particularly in children, is under-supported and severely under-funded…slowing progress towards new regenerative neurological discoveries and limiting the awareness of CP in children. We need your help to create change.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.–Margaret Mead

RFTS, Inc. is  raising funds to help the over 800,000 Americans impacted by Cerebral Palsy. Through  advocacy, awareness building and fund raising we plan to increase the level of research and education with the goal of minimizing the debilitating impact of Cerebral Palsy in our children’s lives.

More children with Cerebral Palsy are being diagnosed every day. The prevalence has increased to 1 in 268 children. For all the children with CP – and all those who will be – the time to act is now.

Your tax deductible contribution will fund advocacy efforts supporting research that will help find a cure.
