A New Standard for Strength

The Moe Norris Foundation envisions a world where disability and injury do not define potential. We aim to create a culture of visibility, access, and support for individuals navigating life-altering physical challenges, especially those from underserved communities. We believe that every step forward, no matter how different, deserves pride, power, and possibility

Upcoming Events

We will bring together athletes, innovators, families, educators, researchers, entrepreneurs, healthcare leaders, corporations, philanthropists, and community organizations to demonstrate what is possible when disability is viewed through the lens of opportunity rather than limitation. We hope to see you there!
