Earle Brown Heritage Center Reaching for Helping people with developmental disabilities live life to its fullest.

You Can Help Partner with us and imagine what you can make possible. Because of you, people are leading lives not even imagined in 1923 when our founder, Alvina Hammer opened her heart and home to children, like Ralph with intellectual disabilities.

With your financial support, those we serve wake up in safe and secure homes, are supported by well-trained and committed caregivers and have funds available to them when they cannot afford basic needs.

Your Generosity Changes Lives

Your support helps individuals such as Michael and Andy participate in fun activities together, with the help of their caregiver Brad.

Your support gives indviduals with disabilities the chance to be involved in their community, just like you and me.

Together we celebrate “living life to its fullest.”

Who Is Ralph?

The spirit of “Ralph” invites us all to live a full, joyful life, willing to try new things and take on life’s challenges. The inspiration for our logo figure, statues and event is a loveable boy who had a disability few people understood in the 1920s. Most people believed Ralph should be placed in an institution.

Unlike the rest of the world, Alvina Hammer believed Ralph deserved to live in a loving environment, a home setting with a school that would focus on his abilities and desires to express himself. Ralph and his family trusted Alvina and he soon became part of the first Hammer School. Ralph grew into adulthood, living a full and joyful life at Hammer until he passed away in 1995.

Ralph embodies the spirit of Hammer, a community of people who respect the individual’s abilities, whose collective spirit makes dreams come true and whose innovations continue to lead the way for people with disabilities.
