Greater Kansas City Spinal Cord Injury Association (GKCSCIA)
Our Mission
The mission of the Greater Kansas City Spinal Cord Injury Association is to provide local resources, services and peer support to individuals with spinal cord injury/disease, their families and professionals. The chapter will assist individuals with the unique difficulties encountered when residing in a bi-state city when searching for information, education and assistance. The chapter will offer the same support to individuals residing in the area but outside the city.

Sponsorship opportunities available
Greater Kansas City Spinal Cord Injury Association’s goal is to unite the Kansas City area to provide a centralized organization that can offer information and direction to meet that individual’s, family’s or professional’s needs.
As a principal sponsor of The Midwest Ability Summit, allowing attendees access to education; information from local resources; interact with speakers & area service providers; offer transportation for individuals unable to return to driving; award grants/funding for those in the SCI community in need of donation/scholarship. Including, for example, grants to local quad rugby & wheelchair basketball teams or sponsoring individuals to attend Roll on the Hill (advocacy & leadership meeting in Washington DC). As a volunteer-based 501 (C) 3 organization our Annual Golf Tournament is designed to help raise the funds needed to achieve these goals and more.
