The Barr Foundation is a non-profit organization determined to help improve the quality of life for amputees in the United States and across the globe. Every year thousands of amputees are refused prosthetic limbs due to lack of funds or lack of proper medical insurance. The Barr Foundation helps to provide these people with the funding, treatment, and prosthetic devices needed to return them to their normal lifestyles. Over the last 10 years, the Barr Foundation has helped over 1200 amputees in 30 states and 21 foreign countries become "Whole Again". In the USA The Barr Foundation has fought to have federal and state laws enacted to regulate the prosthetics profession as a means to better protect the consumer, the amputee. Since 1995, 10 states have been regulated with the support and advocacy efforts of the Barr Foundation. Official website: www.opedge.com/Advertiser/barr/
