The Natalie Wynn Carter Foundation (501c3) was started in late 2007 to honor the life of "Nati" after her short 23 months of life here on earth. Parents, Bryan and Erika Carter, wanted to make something good come out of an unexpected passing of thier daughter and to help her spirit live on through the efforts of the foundation making the lives of children better. The foundation's mission has two main focuses. The first, is to provide spaces for children to play through the building or renovation of playgrounds. This initiaitive was brought to life through the renovation of the Crossroads Christian Church playground and the project was completed in the the fall of 2008 and dedicated on what would have been Nati's 3rd birthday. The second purpose of the foundation is to come along side of other organizations that do great works in the lives of children. Over the past 2 years, we have worked with Crossroads Christian Church to provide Christmas gifts to children in Eastern Kentucky, we have done cooperative events with The Makenna Foundation (www.makennafoundation.org) to help with the construction of the Makenna David Emergency Center at the UK Children's Hospital, and our latest venture has been working with Naticakes, a cupcake shop in Franklin, TN.
