The Brent Oliver 541 Foundation Awarded $25,000 Grant by the Wildhorse Foundation
06/05/24
We are thrilled to announce that the Brent Oliver 541 Foundation has been awarded a generous $25,000 grant from the Wildhorse Foundation! This funding will enable us to purchase a tracked wheelchair, which we will award to a deserving individual in Northeastern Oregon or the surrounding areas.
Our foundation, inspired by the incredible journey of our founder Brent Oliver, is dedicated to helping people overcome adversity and achieve their full potential. The tracked wheelchair will significantly enhance mobility and independence for someone in our community, aligning perfectly with our mission to improve lives through increased access to mobility aid technology, mental health awareness, and family outreach.
Brent Oliver’s story is one of resilience and triumph. Following a devastating motorcycle accident in 1991, Brent has dedicated his life to making a positive impact on others, turning personal trials into opportunities to inspire and support those facing similar challenges.
You can nominate someone who would benefit from this life-changing equipment by going to BrentOliver541.org and contact us. Tell us about your nominee and how this could help.
Thank you to the Wildhorse Foundation for their generous support and to our community for continuing to support our mission. Together, we can make a significant difference!
