Who We Are

Lori Roman & the History of The Ann Children’s Fund

The Ann Children’s Fund (ACF) was established in 2019 by Founder & President Lori Roman as a tribute to her mother Ann Stillwagon. “My mother performed Girl Scout Troop leader duties for girls with Down syndrome and translated children’s books into braille for local children who were visually impaired,” Lori says. “She gave these children the help, hope and love they needed to thrive despite their disabilities.”

That's what the Ann Children's Fund is all about: giving loving families and their children the help they need to ensure their children thrive and are able to grow up strong and loved.  ACF comes alongside adoptive and foster parents to provide them the much needed "extra" help that ensures they can have hope for the future.

A labor of Love & Legacy

Do your best to make this world a better place
