We're here to make an impact in the Spinal Cord Injury Community
Did you know that the first year of expenses for a person with a high-level spinal cord injury can top $1 million and, over a lifetime, expenses may exceed $5 million? Even with exceptional medical insurance, many individuals and families find it difficult to make ends meet.
What Rally4Reilly & Friends does is help fill-in the gaps by providing those affected by spinal cord injuries with grants to purchase products and services that improve comfort, independence, and quality of life.
Inspired by Reilly, the most resilient kid we know with an easy smile and infectious giggle, who has been paralyzed from the shoulders down since he was 23 months old, the Rally4Reilly & Friends’ generous community of supporters, volunteers, and business sponsors, comes together each year to raise funds to help him and others affected by spinal cord injuries thrive.

Reilly's Story

It was a beautiful Saturday in May. Reilly was making silly faces while his mom wiped his green crayon suns off the walls. After his favorite lunch of hot dogs and pickles, they we're off to the store to buy a gift for an upcoming birthday party. It was a trip that changed their lives forever.
In an instant, Reilly suffered a severe spinal cord injury, unimaginably rendered him unable to move below the shoulders and required that he use a ventilator to breathe. He spent weeks in the hospital with his family by his side. While supporting him they were also navigating the confusing, and often difficult, new world of insurance, equipment, modifications, therapies, services and more. It was overwhelming and scary.
That's when their friends and community rallied together to raise some crucial funds to support them and Rally4Reilly was born. Since then, Rally4Reilly & Friends has held annual golf tournaments and other events to raise funds for people with SCI who are facing similar mounting out-of-pocket costs. We’ve seen how overwhelmed and exhausted, yet hopeful these families are. They just need a break and some direction to find the resources they need.
