Marimor Legacy Foundation
The foundation’s first major project was raising $1.3 million to build two new All Ability Playgrounds in Allen County. The playground at Allen County Board of D.D. is pictured above.
The purpose of the Marimor Legacy Foundation is to benefit and support activities and services provided by Allen County Board of Developmental Disabilities.
The foundation achieves this by raising funds for special projects and initiatives that will enhance the lives of people with developmental disabilities in Allen County. Recent projects include fundraising for two All Ability Playgrounds in Allen County, a Butterfly Memorial Garden to honor the lives of people with developmental disabilities, and a Special Needs fund to help people in unique situations.
