Charitable Involvement

OREE & CHARITIES

The founders of OREE have created the Kevin & Friends Foundation. Kevin & Friends is a family-run charitable foundation, focused on supporting groups that are embedded in and committed to the community we live in, regardless of their size or age.

MISSION

OREE and Kevin & Friends Foundation provide support to charities that share our family’s values of local (Connecticut) focus, education, disability, and adaptability. Through our financial support, we hope to create a better community for our children to live in: one where people with disabilities have equal access to social life, education, housing, civic engagement, and economic opportunity.
