Concert for a Child is a special event benefiting Pediatric Services at Capper Foundation including the Children’s Abilities Fund (CAF). This fund is a lifeline for families facing overwhelming financial challenges while raising a child with a disability. It assists families in covering the unreimbursed cost of therapy services, such as high insurance deductibles, copays, additional therapy sessions, and other essential services not covered by Medicaid, commercial insurance, or private pay. Additionally, the CAF bridges the funding gap for program expenses that insurance and other funding sources fail to cover. In the last fiscal year, $958,415 was given to financially assist families and cover unreimbursed costs.

Together, we want to help every child build their abilities and meet their goals like walking independently, and communicating their wants and needs so they can be as independent as possible as they continue to grow up.
