Our Services
At the Terion Anthony Howard Foundation, we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of individuals affected by Prune Belly Syndrome (PBS). Named after my nephew, Terion Anthony Howard, who was born with PBS, our non-profit organization focuses on raising funds to support his medical expenses and provide assistance to others facing similar challenges. Our passionate team of volunteers works tirelessly throughout the year, collaborating with various sports arenas including the Guardians, Cavs, Browns, Chargers, and the Blossom, all of which generously contribute funds to our cause.
Our Initiatives
Financial Support for Individuals with PBS:
We fundraise continuously to assist with Terion's medical expenses. Each game/event worked by our dedicated staff and volunteers results in donations from the venues, helping us support Terion and others like him.
Community Outreach Events
We organize events such as back-to-school giveaways, provide essential school supplies to families in need. Additionally, we partner with the Cleveland Food Bank to provide meals to over 100 people, an initiative proudly supported by our collaboration with Fair Hill Partners.
Employment Assistance
Partnering with the Cleveland Neighborhood Workforce Initiative, we aim to help individuals find meaningful employment opportunities. Our foundation believes in providing more than just extra money - we strive to offer stable jobs in the future, transforming lives beyond financial donations.
Toys for Tots Program
Starting October 2023, Terion will be volunteering with Toys for Tots. Families can sign up with us to receive toys for their children during the holiday season. We believe every child deserves a joyous celebration, and our partnership with Toys for Tots makes this possible.
Grant and Expansion
We currently have a grant application pending, awaiting response. Once approved, our goal is to purchase vans for transporting our staff to distant games/events. This initiative will significantly reduce rental expenses, allowing us to allocate more funds to support the community.
Future Plans
Looking ahead, we aspire to acquire Food Bank credentials to establish a community kitchen. This facility will not only provide meals but also a sense of home, offering cooked meals once a month from Mz. Dot's Restaurant.
