Our Story

Our story is simple yet profound. It starts with a company called ViaQuest. ViaQuest is a company that provides services to emotionally and behaviorally challenged children throughout the United States with the goal of helping them become productive and independent citizens. These children start out in life facing challenges that many others do not have to. Through hard work and determination, they confront their very personal struggle only to find out that while they were working hard, society has passed them by with the latest computers, musical instruments, golf lessons, art appreciation, science…and the list goes on.

I am blessed to have three beautiful children who have been fortunate enough to share in the opportunities I have just described. It was during one of these many experiences with my children that I decided every child should have access to these opportunities, regardless of the challenges they may be facing emotionally or behaviorally. This is when I, along with a few pioneers who are now on the Board of Directors for the ViaQuest Foundation decided to take a stand to give kids with emotional and behavioral challenges hope for the future. In our brief history we have seen many children’s lives transformed by exposing them to opportunities most kids take for granted. With your help, one more life can be changed forever.

The ViaQuest Foundation’s target population is not just adolescents and young adults that ViaQuest serves. We aim to serve all kids with emotional and behavioral challenges. Just think - the next Tiger Woods, Mikhail Baryshnikov, or Bill Gates could be the result of your contribution. Thank you for your kind consideration of this great cause!

Sincerely,
Rich Johnson
