ABOUT SOPHIE’S VOICE FOUNDATION

Sophie’s Voice Foundation is a non–profit charitable organization supporting medical research, family outreach programs and prenatal and prevention education for children and adults with spina bifida.

Sophie’s Voice was founded in 2008 by actors Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker in honor of their daughter, Sophie, who was diagnosed with spina bifida at birth.

The first initiatives of the Foundation are a surgical trial of the Xiao Procedure, which will take place at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta in fall of 2009 and the establishment of a clinic for children and adults in Ghana, Africa.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Sophie’s Voice Foundation is to elevate the quality of life for children and adults diagnosed with spina bifida and to raise awareness of its prevention.
