Our event on Saturday, May 3rd includes a dinner and silent auction to raise money for our yearly grant program. Our grants provide financial assistance to those living with spinal cord injuries and neurological disorders and assist in covering out-of-pocket expenses. We are anticipating around 200 patrons that will enjoy a catered dinner, presentations from our guest speakers, a silent auction, and a dessert auction. This year, our event is themed "Derby Day" and will see guests wearing their best Kentucky Derby attire!

We are looking for volunteers that would be willing to help during set-up (10am-2pm), break-down (9pm-10pm), during the event (5pm-9pm) with guest check-in, merchandise sales, silent auction bids, dessert auction bids and distribution, and general clean-up during the event.

Mission Statement

We strive to provide individuals with movement disorders, neurological disorders and spinal cord injuries with the financial assistance they need to persevere through life’s daily challenges.

Description

There are numerous hidden financial challenges that come with having a spinal cord injury, neurological or movement disorder. These challenges include loss of income, reduced earning potential, costs of a caregiver, family accommodations near the hospital, in home equipment, and activity-based rehabilitation, to name a few. Although insurance or government assistance may be available, it rarely begins to cover everything.
