Mission: Brittany Rodio, an 8 year-old girl from Folsom, New Jersey, was killed in an automobile accident on November 21, 1998 while on her way to the movies with a group of her friends. The Brittany Rodio Foundation was formally created in December 1998, with the specific intent of honoring and remembering Brittany. At the time of her death, family, friends and well-wishers provided donations to Brittany's parents. With these donations the Brittany Rodio Foundation was created. The Brittany Rodio Foundation has since been granted tax-exempt status by the I.R.S. under section 501 (a) of the I.R.S. Code as an organization described in section 501 (c) (3).
