CLEVELAND - OhioPen -- CLEVELAND, OH – The Orange Effect Foundation recently awarded $28,411 to 18 children across the United States with speech disorders. This quarter's grants were awarded after a thorough review process by dedicated members of the Orange Effect Board of Directors.

"It's an amazing feeling to help children in need." said Kristin Erbacher, Orange Effect Foundation Board Chair. "On top of funding speech therapy and a speech generating device, we are also funding weeks at speech camp for multiple children this summer!"

First quarter 2023 grants were awarded by the Orange Effect Foundation to fund speech therapy, a week at speech camp, or to purchase speech devices for children with speech disorders. Grants are effective as of March 10, 2023. The Orange Effect Foundation's grants are drawn from the generous support of the community, including participants in the 100 Holes of Golf Marathon and the OEF Golf for Autism.

About the Orange Effect Foundation
The foundation, while officially formed in 2014, actually began back in 2001, when the founders' son was born with autism. Early intervention helped him to become a heartwarming and independent young man. The Pulizzi family wanted to give back by empowering other children with the therapy and tools they need to communicate effectively.
