About Us

Carolina Adapts Toys for Children

"Founded in November 2018, CATCH works to provide adapted toys to children with special needs who are unable to play with most commercially manufactured toys. Utilizing engineering, creativity, and innovation, we can give back to our community, while also raising awareness about underrepresented groups and their needs."
