Variety
Variety's National Mobility Program provides much needed assistance to children with mobility concerns. Over the years, we have found that these children desperately want to be active members of their communities. But they need what most of us take for granted: access... The goal of our Mobility Program is to see that they get it.
Variety administers the Variety Kids on the Go! program which provides funding for walkers, wheelchairs, specially-designed adaptive bikes, strollers, prosthetic limbs and other devices to families of children with disabilities.
