Our Initiatives
Scholarship & Medical Grant Program
The Malro Fighters Scholarship and Medical Grant Program is the backbone of the Malro Fighters Foundation. It is the most direct way we can help out fellow Malro Fighters and lift up the intestinal malrotation community.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

Annual Malro Family Fair Day
Held once a year in August at the Ohio State Fair, the annual Malro Family Fun Day is our way of celebrating the intestinal malrotation community. In addition to encouraging an exchange of ideas and support, we feature guest speakers that enrich the lives of our community members.
Junior Ambassador Program
The Junior Ambassador Program is designed to help children and teens with intestinal malrotation speak up and get involved with the Malro Fighters program. Applicants are required to be at least 6 years old and are required to participate in one self-led awareness effort or fundraiser. From lemonade stands to class presentations, it’s a great way to teach young children how to advocate for themselves while fostering the Malro Fighters spirit.
