Mission Statement

The Phelan Lucky Foundation exists to create awareness and build community for those living with Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, raise essential funds for continued research, and address the critical challenges faced by young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities as they age out of the school system. We are committed to bridging gaps in resources, expanding opportunities, and ensuring every individual has the support needed to live a full and meaningful life.

 

The Phelan Lucky Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness for individuals with Phelan-McDermid Syndrome while championing a broader mission: to empower adults with different abilities by providing the resources, opportunities, and environments they need to live long, meaningful, and comfortable lives. We believe that every person deserves a future filled with dignity, purpose, and joy—and we are committed to building a more inclusive world, one lucky moment at a time.
