ATI Foundation
Since 2003, the ATI Foundation has raised over $3 million to assist children with physical impairments in our communities. Often our beneficiary families have mounting debt, and are overcome by financial and physical obstacles. Through the work of our clinical and corporate team members, we raise funds to purchase medical equipment, pay bills, and even remodel families’ homes to accommodate their child’s special needs. But more importantly, we give families hope by offering a better quality of life for their child.
Harrison Sindowski, age 4
Hickory Hills, IL
Harrison, at the age of three months old, started having seizures on a regular basis. The symptoms increased in frequency and intensity until he was diagnosed with a severe form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gestaut Syndrome, just before his third birthday. The uncontrolled seizures at such a young age have caused severe global delay, which puts this four-year old at an 18-month-old development level.

On Saturday, August 27, 2016, the ATI Foundation hosted its 13th Annual Cruisin' for Kids (C4K) Motorcycle Ride and Celebration in Illinois! The day began at Skooters Roadhouse in Shorewood, IL, and riders enjoyed a scenic route through Morris, Ottawa and Yorkville before heading back to Skooters for a post-ride celebration. Foxy’s Ice Cream in Yorkville hosted an ice cream stop and donated 20% of all sales to the ATI Foundation. Skooters donated food before and after the ride.
