Giving Tuesday is on November 29! People all over the world will unite to give, collaborate and celebrate generosity.
We are incredibly grateful to those in our extended United Spinal family who support our mission. Together we empower people living with spinal cord injuries and disorders, and all wheelchair users, to discover greater independence and quality of life.
In these challenging times, one fundamental truth gives us hope – together, we do extraordinary things.
From improving benefits for disabled veterans and strengthening the Americans with Disabilities Act to ensuring mass transit is accessible, United Spinal plays a pivotal role in creating positive change in society.
We are the leading national organization that directly serves and advocates for people with SCI/D, all wheelchair users, and their loved ones. With your generous support, we provide free resources, one-on-one guidance, comprehensive programs and services, and peer support.
Your tax-deductible gift will enhance the lives of United Spinal members across the country.
Thank you for supporting our community on #GivingTuesday and joining this global celebration of giving!
Your support helps United Spinal members overcome disability and discover new opportunities!
