About the Kelly Brush Foundation
The Kelly Brush Foundation (KBF) is dedicated to inspiring and empowering individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) to live active and engaged lives.
Here’s How We Are Making an Impact:
The Active Fund
Our Active Fund provides grants for individuals with SCIs to obtain cost-prohibitive adaptive sports equipment. We believe that access to the right equipment can open doors to new experiences and opportunities. To date, KBF has awarded over 1,800 grants, and our motivation to provide support continues to grow.
Scholarships and Camps
We also offer scholarships to various adaptive sports camps, ensuring that individuals can participate in activities that inspire them and promote physical well-being. These experiences help build confidence, skills, and lifelong friendships.
