Our History
The Arizona Spinal Cord Injury Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with spinal cord injuries. Our goal is to promote physical, intellectual, spiritual, emotional and social recovery. The Association focuses on peer and family support, education of consumers, families, caregivers, and professionals, and linking people to vocational, social, and recreational resources.
The Arizona Spinal Cord Injury Association was founded in 1999. The organization started by providing peer mentoring to individuals with spinal cord injuries and their families. From there, the organization has grown to what it is today by providing, health, education, social recreational activities, and quality of life programs for our consumers, their family, caregivers, and professionals.
We are a nonprofit corporation, guided by a Board of Directors consisting of individuals with spinal cord injury, family members, and professionals.
Our primary sources of funding include the Arizona Governor’s Council on Spinal and Head Injuries and other community grants.
We also receive support from our sponsors, our members, and private donations.
The Association could not be what it is today without the support from our community partners, members, and volunteers. We thank you for your continued service and support!
