ABOUT US
Our Vision
To find a permanent cure for those who have been afflicted with chronic
and acute paralysis.
Our Mission
The Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation (SSPF) helps individuals overcome spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders by funding scientific research, medical treatment, rehabilitation and technological advances.
This research benefits stroke victims and people diagnosed with ALS, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. SSPF funds its national Day at the Races program and quality of life grants to organizations throughout the country benefiting people with paralysis and other life challenges.
It also provides college scholarships for people with spinal cord injuries/paralysis. The Foundation works tirelessly in its advocacy efforts both locally and nationally on behalf of the disabled.
