Evin B. Hartsell believed deeply in the value and inspiration of his own life, despite living with a severe physical disability. He was a profound thinker, a dedicated worker, and a passionate advocate for recognizing the talents and worth of individuals with physical disabilities.

The Evin B. Hartsell Foundation carries forward his legacy by inspiring the world to truly understand and appreciate the unique value of people with disabilities—just as Evin did.

The foundation raises awareness about the abilities and contributions of physically disabled individuals through comprehensive education. Their curriculum goes beyond highlighting challenges; it provides actionable, much-needed solutions to empower students to make a positive impact.

Evin and the foundation developed a post-secondary course curriculum designed to deepen students’ understanding of the obstacles faced by people with physical disabilities, while equipping them with the knowledge and tools to create meaningful change.
