Mission Statement

DFRC is a well-respected Delaware foundation dedicated to raising funds and consciousness in support of programs that enrich the lives of Delawareans with cognitive disabilities. Established in 1956, the private, nonprofit organization is dedicated to identifying and funding programs based on community need.

Description

Originally known as the Delaware Foundation for Retarded Children, DFRC has raised millions of dollars over the years through its signature fundraising events ? the annual Blue-Gold All-Star Football Game, Holidazzle, and the Blue-Gold All-Star Golf Classics. These events provide opportunities to promote understanding of people with cognitive disabilities. Each year with the help of volunteers, high school student committees, community participants, individual contributors, and corporate sponsors, DFRC raises thousands of dollars to support programs that encourage individuals with cognitive disabilities to maximize their potential, independence and enjoyment of life.
