Nonprofit Overview
Mission: Adyn's Dream is a non-profit organization aimed at providing financial assistance to other families living with the reality of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Many families need financial relief for different reasons: equipment, home modifications, hospital bills, travel expenses etc. Adyn Bucher was born with SMA Type 2. Much like every child born with SMA, she has fought through many challenges in her first 10 years of life, and will continue to overcome hardships for years to come. But one thing is for certain, Adyn is the first kid in line to help & the first to give her saved money for fundraisers at school. Now she's combining this passion for helping others and her obsession with music! We are currently in the early stages of organizing the First Annual Adyn's Dream music festival at Ohio University in the 2nd half of 2015. This will be a day of music and celebration with proceeds going to fund the Adyn's Dream grant program for SMA families. Adyn and her team will be working hard to bring top notch music to Athens. This is a huge endeavor we are taking on. If you are interested in helping in any way - please send me a message. We see looking for sponsors, musicians/bands, volunteers, etc.
Target demographics: families with children born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Programs: we help to provide assistance through many avenues - some of which include providing medical equipment, financial assistance for parents who have children in long-term stays in hospitals (lodging, gas), and we also sponsor families to attend their first national CureSMA conference each year (an incredible event that changes the lives of the families that attend).
