Inner Wheel USA Foundation
The Inner Wheel USA Foundation was incorporated in the state of Louisiana in 1988 as a method of funding charitable projects on behalf of Inner Wheel USA membership. Its overall mission adopted in 1997, is to further understanding among all people through tangible and effective programs of a philanthropic, charitable, or educational nature.
Over the years, we have built a substantial endowment for the Children’s Myoelectric Limb Project. Working exclusively with the Hanger Clinic, the IWUSA Foundation provides upper body myoelectric limbs to children under the age of 18 years with limb loss through trauma, disease, or genetics. The limbs provided may be new technology such as the Hero Arm or traditional limbs depending on the needs and growth of the child. Through working with the nearly 900 Hanger Clinics the Myoelectric Limb Project is “Turning Possibilities into Realities”.
Camp No Limits has become an integral part of our relationship with Hanger. Camp No Limits Foundation is a non-profit organization providing camps for children with limb loss and differences. Founded in 2004 by Mary Leighton, Camp No Limits aims to provide education, mentorship, and support to these children and their families fostering a welcoming and supportive community in the hopes of helping all those who attend the camp. The Camp stresses the importance of physical and occupational therapy, adaptations, prosthetic options, and peer support to assist the children and families.
The IWUSA Foundation is a Gold Sponsor of Camp No Limits. Hanger Foundation is a Platinum Sponsor. We are so pleased to be a partner with No Limits Foundation, the founder of Camp No Limits, and to support their great work.

The Foundation receives support from professionals in the field of myoelectric prostheses for children. These professionals offer knowledge and encouragement. You can help enable limb deficient children grow and participate in many two-handed activities of this world. Help us “Give a Child a Hand” with a generous donation.
