Allard USA has formed a non-profit organization, the DRALLA Foundation,
to address quality of life issues not only for wearers of its devices, but for all
individuals with from these physical challenges.
"To expand on the philosophy of providing 'support for better life', Allard
USA developed the Dralla Foundation to serve the different needs of
individuals with physical disabilities and their families," announces Jennifer
Buehler, Grant Program Administrator for the newly established foundation.
"This will include providing financial support for educational and/or training
programs that will help these individuals pursue their dreams and
sponsoring of events that will provide encouragement and support.

"Examples of financial awards include sponsoring a group's day activity,
recreational or personal growth activities, or to provide individual support to
programs geared to help those with physical challenges to climb their own
Mount Everest," explains Buehler. These individuals do not have to be
Allard USA product users.

The Review Board will award grants in a price range between $500-$5000.
Depending upon project and budget, more could be offered. The review
process will match applications against Dralla's life-enhancing objectives.
