Our 2017 Push Forward Educational Conference was an amazing event! We had over 140 people attend and we were able to help connect local businesses with the spinal cord injury population. We are incredbily thankful to all of the speakers and community resource partners that contributed their time to help us create this event!

With over 140 people in attendance, we really got to see the meaning of community. There were peer mentors, community resources, and professionals in the room together and you could feel the energy. In class presentations were incredibly thorough and displayed a lot of information that people really wanted to hear about.

Next year we hope to have another awesome event, and we hope to reach more people than ever before. Once again, we thank you all for your time and energy that you brought to the event. Things like this are not possible without the help and support of amazing businesses and volunteers. We look forward to seeing you next! Until then KEEP PUSHING FORWARD!
