On June 1,1985,  Advocare Trust, Inc. was chartered as a non profit corporation “for the purpose of administering to the needs of the beneficiaries of the corporation living in Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough Counties.  This corporation would provide advocacy to insure care, comfort nurture and opportunities for their children.

     With this charter, a corporation was born which is dedicated to the lifelong best interest of the sons and daughters of those who enroll their children.  At last there would be someone to assist the disabled adult in their decision making, someone who can make medical decisions, act as guardian, monitor their care and review their financial situation, someone who does not work for the state or facilities to make sure their resources are utilized for their benefit, someone who will fight for them as hard as their parents did during their life time. 

     As a corporation, Advocare will exist in perpetuity. Siblings, friends and relatives will be assured there will always be someone to provide advocacy services to their family member.  This someone will have the specialized knowledge and expertise necessary to navigate the system.  The responsibilities will be placed in the hands of professionals, supervised by concerned directions who are parents of persons with disabilities.
