Impact in Action

A hockey game at Madison Square Garden.

The Travis Roy Hockey Classic is an annual charity ice hockey game held at the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City. It has raised more than $1.5 million dollars to improve the lives of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).

A woman with an amputated leg and a young man in a wheelchair do yoga.

Yoga for All was started by twin sisters Joy and Judy, who believe in the power of yoga and are passionate about providing access to yoga for people of all abilities. After being a patient at Spaulding Rehabilitation, Joy was inspired to create a yoga program at Spaulding for people like her. Joy and Judy fundraise each year to help provide more inclusive, accessible yoga classes to people.

Community Fundraising Guidelines

Spaulding Rehabilitation needs to approve all fundraisers using our name and logo to ensure we are being accurately represented in our community.

Event organizers are responsible for planning and promoting their fundraising effort, arranging volunteers and all day-of support, soliciting donations and/or sponsorships, producing and distributing communication and marketing materials, paying for all event-related expenses, and coordinating media coverage and distributing press releases with prior approval from Spaulding’s Development and Marketing Departments.

For questions or more information on community fundraising, please contact Michele Spaulding at mmspaulding@mgb.org.
