About Relume Foundation
Relume Foundation maintains a consistently visible presence at the forefront of serving and educating at-risk communities with vital healthcare resources and services. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Sunday Adeosun, Chairman, Professor Sherri Adeosun, President, and Dr. Cheryl Croney, Medical Director, Relume brings a caring hand to many densely populated areas of its home city in New York and its African roots in Nigeria. Our urgent focus has been on the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the health of our residents.
Our Mission
Relume’s proud mission is to bring light and hope to populations of the United States and Africa most in need of quality care. With the tools of life-giving resources, we are able to expand our reach in greater numbers locally in New York City and abroad by providing sound nutrition, housing, medical services, and education. Since 2014, in partnership with our dedicated volunteers and professionals, we have enriched many families and are especially proud of our youth. Relume stimulates their early development and as they mature continues mentoring them in academic excellence. Our collective goal is to work successfully toward vital solutions for the good of home and humanity.
