History
In 2004 a group of people on the Outer Banks raised money for leukemia research in honor of a local child battling the disease. This family became financilally distressed during their crisis and they lost their home. The original group of fundraisers founded the Relief Foundation to prevent other local families from facing a similar situation. Since that time, the Outer Banks Relief Foundation has provided over $1,800,000 to 890 Outer Banks families in need. Financial assistance amounts range from $500 to $2,000. Some examples of what our clients are facing include cancer, serious blood or nerve disorders, spinal injuries, and MS. We work closely with the other charitable and helping organizations here on the Outer Bank to coordinate our support and services.
