Roswell, GA, April 15th, 2024. FPI board member, Lisa Bader, OTR/L, CEIM and Founder of the Shape Right System, presented three $600 scholarships at the recent 2024 NANT conference. The awards will be used for attendance to the 2025 NANT conference. A heartfelt thank you to Lisa for presenting the awards to Angela Gallagher, SLP, Beacon Children's Hospital, South Bend, IN, Heather Bowen, OTR/L, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, and Grace Anillo, OTR/L, Jersey City Medical Center Barnabas Health, Jersey City, NJ.
The Foundation for Premature Infants donated the scholarships so these brilliant therapists can stay current regarding best practices on how to care for premature infants, the most fragile vulnerable little people. One of the recipients, Grace Anillo, said, "I'm still in awe that I won such a generous gift. So excited to go to NANT next year with a lot less financial stress. Thank you so much!"
"I'm excited FPI has raised enough money to be able to award these three scholarships," said Michael D. Litten, Founder. The Foundation's core belief is, as Horton said so succinctly and eloquently: "a person's a person, no matter how small."
