I am extremely proud and honored to be a part an amazing individual, Bonner Paddock. All the people he touches, including myself, are inspired by his enthusiasm, humility, and passion. It is an honor to serve on his Board.
I couldn't be more proud to be a volunteer for OM Foundation. The mission of the foundation, backed 100% by its founder, Bonner, and its strong Board of Directors, is one I am proud to represent. As the mother of a child with cerebral palsy, I know firsthand how important it is to provide services for children with disabilities, and OM Foundation is changing lives in a positive way every single day. Bonner is about pushing one's limits far beyond his own, and anyone else's, expectations as well as standing up for those who can't.
By first climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and then completing the brutal Kona Ironman Race, Bonner, despite living with Cerebral Palsy, exemplified that one can conquer his challenges and go “beyond his limits”. Now, by creating the OM Foundation, he has set out to directly impact children with disabilities in a way so that they too can push through their own physical and emotional restraints. The OM Foundation is committed to building Early Learning Centers around the globe to provide the needed therapy and support to help empower these children and their families to live life beyond those limits.
I couldn’t be more proud to work next to Bonner in this highly inspirational cause. I know he has inspired me to push through my own personal limits and I am excited to help him spread this same effect on others around the world.
The OM Foundation not only stands for all the good we need in this world... it backs it up! Starting with Bonner Paddock who does more than walk the walk....he runs, bikes, swims, and climbs IT! (first person to finish Iron Man Kona and the first person to climb unassisted to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro with CP)
Bonner delivers a message that each and everyone of us can make a difference if we just choose to have the correct attitude.
The mission of the OM Foundation is to raise awareness and support centers that provide services to empower children with disabilities and their families to live life beyond limits in their communities.
OM Foundation is about making a difference in a personal way. Our ability to reach directly in to the community and change lives makes OMF stand apart. Bonner continues to spread hope while directly investing in the lives of children who strive to break down their own physical barriers. As a Board member it is a privilege to serve along side Bonner and the rest of the OMF family.
Review from Guidestar
OM Foundation is focused on helping children with disabilities, an underserved segment of our society. The foundation is founded and operated by Bonner Paddock, who suffers from Cerebral Palsy, and is extremely compassionate and an inspirational force. The foundation helps these children through various means: 1) Raising money to support facilities and programs to assist these children to reach their potential, 2) Raising awareness for the need to support these kids, 3) Inspiring the kids to "Live life beyond limits" and strive to reach their full potential, and possibly most important 4) Influencing people in all walks of life to be inclusive, and treat these children with the same respect as anyone else.
The foundation is run with next to no overhead, so that over 90% of contributions go directly to the needs of the children.
You want find a more ethical leader than Bonner Paddock and he is extremely passionate about the cause we serve. It's a honor to be associated with this organization. As a donor you can be very proud of the impact your donation will have on many children.
Review from Guidestar
OM Foundation is on a mission to build early childhood learning centers for kids with disabilities. It is enthusiastically led by Bonner Paddock, a charismatic and accomplished business executive who happens to have cerebral palsy. Bonner's disability hasn't stopped him from running marathons, finishing the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii or climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, all to raise money for kids with disabilities. I'm proud to work alongside Bonner and our other board members to raise money for this worthy cause.
