The RESCU Foundation, Inc. (RESCU) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the health and medical well-being of participants of historically themed events, including renaissance festivals and other interactive theatrical venues. RESCU provides preventative health education and mentorship in the abatement of medical bills to a characteristically underinsured constituency.

...that would otherwise disappear from our modern society.  By doing so, they educate our youth about important periods of history, inspiring the next generation to broaden their knowledge about the world at large.

...these entertainers, artisans and festival staff positively impact the economy in cities across the country dependent upon the annual influx of income. As these events generally take place over the course of multiple weekends, revenue is also generated by thousands of guests who travel from other areas and invest widely in the host city.
