Description

About Our Non-Profit

Our mission is to provide free computers and internet access to seriously ill children for educational purposes. Computers include laptops and tablets. We envision all seriously ill children continuing their education uninterrupted despite their medical condition or financial limitation. We provide the tools and support needed to connect children, face-to-face with their classrooms and teachers, family and friends and medical teams.

Simply stated, we connect kids when their world is out of reach.

Leslie Morissette founded Grahamtastic Connection in honor of her son Graham who sadly lost his battle to cancer in 1997 at age 8. While spending many hours with Graham at the hospital, Leslie became keenly aware of a great need for children and families to access the internet. It was this need that inspired her to create Grahamtastic Connection. In 1998 Grahamtastic supported 10 children in Maine. The program has grown to provide computers to more than 150 recipients a year.

Grahamtastic Connection has been recognized with numerous awards for their work on behalf of seriously ill children. This 5K run/walk provides important funding for this cause.
