Portlight Strategies
Portlight Strategies, Inc. is a 501(c)3 organization based in Johns Island, South Carolina, USA, focusing on hurricane and other disaster relief.
==History==
Portlight was founded in 1997 as an organization to assist the disabled, by people living with disabilities.〔(Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation Grant to Support Hurricane/Natural Disaster Relief Efforts for People with Disabilities ) Newsroom and Events, Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, June 1, 2010.〕〔(Portlight Story ), Portlight Strategies.〕 In 2008 through co-founder and chairman of the board Paul Timmons, Jr., Portlight assisted Patrick Pearson of Weather Underground in organizing relief for survivors of Hurricane Ike in Texas.〔〔Jeff Masters, ("Summary of Hurricane Ike relief efforts," ) Dr. Jeff Masters' WunderBlog, Weather Underground, October 2, 2008.〕 This led to a lasting partnership with Weather Underground and a change in focus to disaster relief, particularly for "the underserved, unserved and forgotten people,"〔 those with disabilities and in rural areas.〔("Helping Disabled, Rural Areas After Hurricane," ) WCIV August 6, 2010, updated August 27, 2010.〕 Portlight has since organized annual fundraising walkathons called relief walks in communities around the US, with Weather Underground as sponsoring partner.〔(Weather Underground Becomes National Sponsor of Portlight Relief Walks ), Weather Underground, March 18, 2009.〕〔(Summerville Relief Walk ), ''The Gazette'', April 23, 2009.〕 In 2010, the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation awarded Portlight a $21,500.00 grant in association with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to pay for a deployable disaster relief module to assist disabled people in the first two weeks after a disaster.〔〔(Quality of Life Grants: 1st Cycle 2010: Caring and Coping - Portlight Strategies ), Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.〕
