Burch Family Fund
The Burch Family Special Needs Fund at United Cerebral Palsy was established in the year 2000 by the Burch Family Foundation for the purpose of supplying assistance to individuals with disabilities in Franklin, Tennessee who are of birth multiples, i.e., twins triplets, etc.
In the letter establishing the fund at United Cerebral Palsy, Mr. Lucius E. Burch III stated:
“It has recently come to my attention that cerebral palsy often affects children of multiple birth. The funds from the Burch Family Foundation are to be used to establish a fund to provide direct aid for medical, therapeutic, technological, or other specialized needs for children of multiple birth with disabilities located in the city of Franklin, Tennessee.”

A small portion of interest earned from this fund is distributed to qualifying applicants throughout the United States through a direct allocation process.
