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.
