In 1992, The Theresa Foundation was formed. Vincent and Susan Russo, founded the Foundation after the death of their daughter, Theresa. The Theresa Foundation’s goal is to help all children with disabilities through art, music and dance programs.
Focusing on the arts…
Many of the Theresa Foundation programs focuses on dance, music, and art. They all benefit children with disabilities.
The Theresa Academy of the Performing Arts (TAPA) is an example of this. It provides quality recreational activities within the realms of performing arts to individuals of varying abilities.
Pooled Income Trust
The Theresa Foundation’s Pooled Trust Income Program is a program that gives individuals the ability to protect their assets and income while accessing Medicaid. On their demise, any remaining funds pass on to the Theresa Foundation which supports the Russo family’s mission of helping children with special needs while keeping Theresa’s memory alive.
