The Parady Cares Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for less fortunate children, veterans, seniors, and others with special needs in our community. Our core values guide our direction and efforts to help others. We maintain a position to lead, the creativity to inspire, and the will to foster positive change.

Upcoming Events

Positive Change

The Parady Cares Foundation helps individuals of all ages overcome life’s numerous challenges. We support and encourage less fortunate children in our local schools, families struggling through difficult times, veterans facing challenges resulting from service to our country, and seniors who brave the health issues that coincide with aging.

Generosity

Giving, whether it be of your time, talents, or value, is a very humbling and rewarding gesture. The Parady Cares Foundation, through the support of generous donations and volunteerism, contributes to many organizations, which in turn support less fortunate individuals from all walks of life.

Inspiration

The Parady Cares Foundation strives to encourage community support by offering opportunities for our partners and friends to join us in our efforts.

The Children

Our Foundation has an ongoing relationship with local elementary schools to provide resources and support for student enrichment. In addition, we support local youth organizations such as the Sumter County Youth, Project Legacy and the Boys & Girls Club.

Our Veterans

Our fundraising efforts are designed to honor and support Veteran groups such as The Villages Honor Flight, Vietnam Veterans of America, Combat Veterans to Careers and Project SOS including Veterans from all branches of our military.

Wellness

Our Foundation strives to help the members of our community maintain a healthy lifestyle. We merge our efforts with groups such as Alzheimer’s Family Organization, The Village Angels for Autism and Breast Cancer Awareness Groups.

Family

Our Foundation friends are passionate about family and generously donate to our annual campaigns. As a result, we are able to provide less fortunate families with the basic necessities of food, clothing, and shoes, along with specialty items during the holiday season.

Special Needs

Supporting Exceptional Student Education (ESE) and meeting the physical, mental and emotional needs of individuals of all ages is important to the Foundation. Our resources provide funds for therapy and educational tools students otherwise might not be able to obtain.
