Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Digestive Diseases & Disorders, Health, Human Services, Mutual & Membership Benefit
Mission: Pull-thru network, inc. Is a volunteer-based non-profit organization dedicated to providing information, education, support and advocacy for families, children, teens and adults who are living with the challenges of congenital anorectal, colorectal, and/or urogenital disorders and any of the associated diagnoses.
Programs: We plan and facilitate a bi-annual national conference which provides our members a unique opportunity to spend time and make connections with others who have similar unusual medical conditions. In 2017 we began collecting sponsorships, donations, and registration fees for our 2018 national conference.
three times a year we produce a newsletter for our members. The newsletters contain exclusive articles from our medical advisors, member spotlight stories, current events information, and details of all member services we provide.
we provide funding for regional activities as requested by our membership. In 2017 we hosted regional events in washington (seattle), ohio (columbus), and new york.
we offer family assistance for approved medical care travel expenses, since our members often require specialized medical care that is not offered at the local level.
we offer scholarships for our members to attend the youth rally. The youth rally's mission is to provide an environment for adolescents living with conditions of the bowel and bladder that encourages self-confidence and independent living. Each summer the youth rally hosts a 5-night camp at a college campus for kids and teens living with conditions of the bowel and bladder, such as our members.
we provide a website which offers information, education, support, and advocacy for our members, and on a limited basis, for the general public as well.
