September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month!
Every 29 minutes another person in the United States suffers a spinal cord injury, altering their life forever.
That is why in 2011, we asked the United States Senate to formally recognize September as Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month!
Our intent was to create a larger conversation about what it means to be paralyzed to help shine a spotlight on those living with paralysis.
As a result, a national conversation began with the launch of The Buoniconti Fund and The Miami Project’s “Stand Up for Those Who Can’t” campaign. Over the years, our message has reached millions of people through thousands of traditional and social media channels.
We continue to engage the public, highlighting the urgent need for a cure, and sharing the challenges many face living with a spinal cord injury.
It’s been rewarding to see so many organizations, friends and supporters around the country and the globe joining in and adding their voice to this national and international conversation.
But we’re not stopping there! We still need your help. We need your voice.
Throughout September, we will be raising awareness and funds to support our mission, culminating in our Grand Finale on September 30th—the prestigious Great Sports Legends Dinner in New York City. This extraordinary evening will honor the world’s greatest athletes, celebrities, and philanthropists who have made significant contributions to the cause.
We want you to be part of this journey!
