The Board of Directors of Samantha’s Purpose, Inc. is comprised of the parents, family members, friends, and therapists of Samantha Marie….an amazing little girl that has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. This organization was created with the “passion” and “desire” to truly make a difference in a child’s life.
Our immediate goal as an organization is to be able to financially assist the parents/families of children with Neuromotor Disabilities living in Florida with the cost of therapy.
These are only our “short term” goals!!!! When we think “LONG TERM” we see an organization that has enough funding to offer this financial assistance, NATIONWIDE!!!!!
The only way we can achieve our long term goal is by receiving financial support from individuals and/or companies. If you are interested in volunteering your time, attending our fundraising events, and/or you or your company is interested in being a "SPONSOR" of Samantha's Purpose or any of our events, please contact me via e-mail at: mcg@samanthas-purpose.org
