Celebrating Olivia's Spirit

The Olivia Bloomfield Foundation is a celebration of Olivia's infectious energy and unwavering passion for inclusion, even in the face of Congenital Muscular Dystrophy.

 

Born with Congenital Muscular Dystrophy, Olivia made it her superpower. During her 10 years, she tackled challenges head-on, leaving a trail of inspiration wherever she went. Despite her young age, she accomplished a lifetime of work and service, locally, nationally, and globally, infusing every moment with joy and determination. She was a fearless and tireless advocate for accessibility and inclusion, championing inclusive playgrounds throughout Kansas City and beyond, because, in her words, 'Everybody deserves a chance to play.'

 

In 2021, with her drive and passion for inclusivity, Olivia was honored to be named as the first esteemed Student Design Competition Champion for JANUS et Cie. Global Playground Design. This recognition showcased her creativity and vision, proving that age is no barrier to making a difference. Widely known and respected for her activism and leadership around inclusivity, Olivia was the youngest recipient ever to receive the KC Independent’s Rising Stars award in 2022 for her work in the community and school district.

 

The Olivia Bloomfield Foundation is our way of carrying on Olivia's legacy with the same enthusiasm and determination that defined her. We're dedicated to funding projects that bring joy and accessibility to individuals with disabilities, all while advancing groundbreaking research in the fight against Congenital Muscular Dystrophy.

 

Join us in celebrating Olivia's vibrant spirit and spreading her message of inclusivity far and wide. Together, we can continue to light up lives and make Olivia's dreams a reality.
