The Shoot For The Future Scholarship Fund was established to honor persons with spinal cord injuries who have overcome obstacles while displaying enthusiasm and perseverance. Most spinal cord injuries (60%) happen in young adults who are in the career development stage of life. Studies show that working after an injury improves quality of life, life satisfaction and adjustment, and educational attainment is the strongest predictor of returning to work.
