About
Last Updated: July 1st, 2011
We created Johnny’s Rainbow Foundation in honor of our son, Johnny, who we lost in his sleep in 2006 at the age of nine. Johnny had Smith-Magenis Syndrome and Autism.
It is the foundation’s mission to help families with special needs children by providing them with financial support called a Rainbow Grant. The Rainbow Grant is intended to make a significant difference in the life of the special needs child by funding equipment, experiences, parent education, family counseling, therapy, or any other of the child’s needs.
Johnny’s Rainbow Foundation also assists special needs children through Johnny’s Scholarship Fund, which provides special educational grants to parents of Delco Family P.A.S.S. (A Delaware County Autism Support Group serving over 250 families) as well as to the research of Smith-Magenis Syndrome.
