Annual SCI Awareness Month Proclamation and Presentation

Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day
Wednesday, September 17, 2025, 1PM -4PM
Massachusetts State House - Room #428
24 Beacon St., Boston, MA 02133

A COLLABORATION OF MASSACHUSETTS REHABILITATION FACILITIES, CONSUMER ORGANIZATIONS, LEGISLATORS, SCIENTISTS, RESEARCHERS, POLICY MAKERS, AND ADVOCATES WORKING TOWARD A COMMON GOAL TO INCREASE AWARENESS AND FUNDING FOR SPINAL CORD INJURY CURE 

The SCI Trust Fund was established in 2004 to provide funding opportunities for SCI research in Massachusetts.  In 2015 the Fund was modified to increase funding and renamed the Thomas P. Kennedy SCI Trust Fund in honor of the late legislator who served four decades in the House and Senate and was himself a quadriplegic. Five researchers in Boston have received over six million dollars since the Fund began. 

    Please join us for a complimentary buffet lunch while we network and share updates from our researchers and the Department of Public Health. We will be honoring Senator Michael Brady.  This event is sponsored by Senator Marc Pacheco, Massachusetts Walks Again, and Sciboston, formerly known as Greater Boston Chapter of United Spinal Association.
