 Gorman Hewitt Ayars Fund
Financial Aid
The Gorman Foundation was established in 1968 by Gorman Principal Helen M. Ayers, parents and friends. Its purpose was to assist students and former students who needed equipment not covered by the Dayton Public School System's general operating fund.
In 1981, members of the Gorman School Foundation and the Board of United Rehabilitation Services joined together to establish the Gorman-Ayers Memorial Fund of United Cerebral Palsy. Its purpose was to expand and investigate the needs of disabled children and adults in the Greater Dayton area covering our six-county radius.
In 1991, upon the death of Mrs. Gladys D. Hewitt, through her generous bequest, the fund's name was changed to the Gorman-Hewitt-Ayers Memorial Fund of UCP. Its purpose remains as intended to assist residents of the Greater Dayton area with Cerebral Palsy or orthopedic disorders to obtain the maximum level of independence.
Funds are used for acquisition of appliances, support aids, augmentative communication equipment, home modification, and reasonable administrative costs with assessing the needs.
Camperships on a need basis.
