OUR 2021 strategic goals

Sponsoring of a Virtual SCI Symposium - Collaborate with hospitals and rehab centers in Northern California and hold a Virtual SCI Symposium to bring together healthcare professionals to hear, learn and share best practices and experiences from their fellow peers, industry experts, patient advocates and service providers on how to provide better inpatient and outpatient care for those with SCI in order to have better patient outcomes.
Execute strategy in support of “5/22 Capital Campaign” - Produce an execution and financing strategy that would result in raising a minimum of $500,000 by May of 2022 to help support the launch of our initiative to provide extended rehabilitation for the newly-injured as well as a plan to help support the physical and mental well-being of those with longer injuries.
Develop an expansion of paid staff and a succession plan for the founders - As our organization continues to grow, the need for paid staff that can be devoted toward the continued expansion of the organization will grow. Furthermore, as the founders shift their limited time and focus on more strategic initiatives of the organization, the placement of a new leader for the organization becomes a necessity.
Expand and diversify the organization - We will continue to look and recruit individuals that are equally passionate about our cause with a focus on increasing the diversity of our Board of Directors as well as increasing our base of volunteers throughout Northern California.
Continue expanding our digital media presence and programming - We will continue to produce innovative and informative virtual events appropriate for the SCI community as well as expand the use of social media to more effectively reach and grow this audience.
Smart Home Independence Package (SHIP) - Work with 10 deserving individuals with significant spinal cord injuries to outfit their residence with smart devices in order to provide them with greater independence, security and safety.
Adapted Cycling Program - Through partnerships and self initiatives, we will launch a program that will bring adapted cycling to the SCI community in multiple stages throughout the year.

Our 2021 Legacy Goals

Expand our Extended Rehab and Road To Recovery programs - Invest a minimum of $70,000 to help support the recovery of those with SCI through grants for therapies, equipment or home modification.
Expand distribution of Care Packages - Continue distributing our Care Packages by working with various hospitals.
Virtual SCI Consultations - Hold two of these programs making clinical experts available for free consultations.
Outreach to the SCI community - We will continue to offer virtual support groups jointly with rehab hospitals as well as for the broader SCI community.
