There are now three 12-week programs: Fall and Spring programs are held at the Northern Virginia site, and the Summer program is held at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, DC. In FY 2023 Joey's Foundation provided the initial $100,000 as the supporting organization and financial sponsor of the inaugural year of the BFit Power-based Exercise Program in Northern Virginia. The complimentary program included two full sessions: the first in the Fall of 2024 and a second session in the Spring of 2025. By word of mouth the reputation of the program has spread throughout the disability community, and parents are eager to have their children enrolled. The BFit program encourages physical activity and participation for children with cerebral palsy (CP), the most common motor disability in childhood, affecting an estimated 500,000 to 700,00 children and adults in the United States. CP is a collection of non-progressive conditions affecting the brain. Impairments are caused by abnormal development of the nervous system characterized by spasticity, muscle weakness, and poor motor control. This vulnerable population is often excluded from participating in community-based physical activity. The BFit program's supportive social environment reduces barriers to participation and focuses on increasing not only physical but also social functioning. The 12-week program consists of two 60-90 minute activity sessions each week. Outcome measures for each participant are based on standardized assessments done at the start of the program with goals set by the participants and their families. BFit enables adolescents with physical disabilities to pursue their desire to participate in recreational sports and increase physical activity. With positive reinforcement and increased self-esteem, participants learn that they are capable of participating in many different types of exercises, utilizing a variety of equipment and learning new motor skills. The program implementation requires exercise space, equipment, program coordination, volunteer trainers from local physical therapy schools, and medical oversight. Participants demonstrate improved functional outcomes, mental health and socialization. An additional benefit of the program is the hands-on experience for the physical therapy students who volunteer to work with these children. Under the oversight of licensed physical therapists, these students are responsible for administering the exercise programs, documentation, set up, break down (including cleaning), nightly feedback, and outcome measures. The volunteer students meet with the MedStar Health professional staff before and after each session to discuss each child's needs, develop appropriate exercises based on individual needs, and review outcomes and progress. The volunteer students benefit from the hands-on learning experience with the children and from the professional mentoring of the MedStar National Rehabilitation Network physical and occupational therapists. 2500 2500 0 Joey's Foundation supported the 9th Annual Cerebral Palsy Research Network (CPRN) Meeting held April 2026 in Baltimore, Maryland. Attendees included leaders in the field of cerebral palsy care and research---clinician researchers from 35 CPRN sites as well as partner organizations, advisors, and community members. The mission of CPRN is to "optimize the lifelong health and wellness of people with cerebral palsy and their families through high quality research, education and community programming.....CPRN is the largest and most comprehensive network of hospitals and community members working together to improve health outcomes for people with CP." 15000 15000 0 Joey's Foundation is committed to support Kennedy Krieger Institute and its life-changing work. The Institute treats children, adolescents and young adults with neurological injuries and conditions that impact how they think, move, speak, learn and interface with the world. Kennedy Krieger has over 80 programs, including a hospital and schools that serve nearly 30,000 patients and students each year. Their scientists lead over 700 active research studies, investigating new treatments, interventions and innovation. Their collaborative model creates a unique, interdisciplinary approach to whole-child care. 0 0 0 Joey's Corner provides books for children with and without disabilities. The organization is engaged in the creation and distribution of multisensory adaptive books for children with motor skill impairment. Adapted text and symbol-supported versions of reading material will bring books to life in a visual and physical way. Props like puppets or toys enhance a story and increase understanding. Renovated, laminated copies of image or characters make the reading material interactive. Finally, the use of speech-generating devices aligned to a text will increase interaction and understanding of the story. Multisensory books are creative, fun and enhance comprehension. 0 0 0 67500 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X X Janet Sloan 2022371769 5117 52nd Street NW Washington DC 20016 Robert L Sloan Board Chair/President & CEO 20 X X 0 0 0 Janet Sloan Board Member/Secretary/Treasurer 20 X X 0 0 0 Matthew Ammerman Board Member 0.25 X 0 0 0 Sherri Bohinc Board Member/Vice Chair 0.25 X X 0 0 0 Nicholas McConnell Board Member 0.25 X 0 0 0 Christopher Shaw Board Member 0.25 X 0 0 0 Susan Shaw Board Member 0.25 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 295472 0 295472 0 16361 0 0 16361 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 311833 0 0 16361 67500 67500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 250 0 250 0 41 0 41 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5914 0 5914 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10523 9274 1249 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2321 0 0 2321 0 0 0 0 6995 0 6995 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2037 0 2037 0 Merchant services 2013 0 0 2013 website contractor 200 0 200 0 0 0 0 0 97794 67500 24711 5583 31790 17469 648516 686396 900937 1275509 1581243 1979374 1863 121 1863 121 X 1579380 1979253 0 0 1579380 1979253 1581243 1979374 214039 185834 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 398088 208925 240140 250693 295472 1393318 398088 208925 240140 250693 295472 1393318 271737 1121581 5502 12566 14941 14499 16361 63869 5412 1021 6442 8072 20947 1478134 0 0.75878 0.79488 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 miscellaneous income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 Medstar National Rehabilitation Hospital 102 Irving Street NW Washington DC 20010 521369749 50000 0 0 BFit Power Based Exercise Program - to provide exercise space, equipment, program coordination, professional staff, volunteer trainers from local physical therapy school, and medical oversight Kennedy Krieger Institute 707 North Broadway Baltimore MD 21205 521524965 15000 0 0 To support Kennedy Krieger Institute and its life-changing work with children, adolescents and young adults with neurological injuries and conditions. 2 0 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 On-site visits, phone and written reports.
