About this resource

About

The Kelly Brush Foundation is a Burlington, Vermont-based 501(c)(3) established in 2006 after Kelly Brush, a University of Vermont NCAA alpine ski racer, sustained a spinal cord injury during a race. Learning to mono-ski the following winter, she turned her recovery into a mission to ensure others with SCI have access to adaptive sport. The foundation funds its work through an annual cycling fundraiser and individual donations.

What It Does

The Foundation awards individual equipment grants helping people with spinal cord injuries purchase cost-prohibitive adaptive sports equipment such as mono-skis, hand cycles, and sit-skis. It also funds club-level ski racing safety grants at ski areas nationwide and runs annual Vermont Adaptive ski camps open to SCI athletes at all experience levels, from first-timers to seasoned competitors. Grant recipients span 47 states, making it one of the broadest SCI adaptive sports equipment programmes in the US.

Who It Helps

The Kelly Brush Foundation exclusively serves individuals with spinal cord injuries and the families and communities supporting them. The combination of equipment grants, camp experiences, and safety advocacy makes it a comprehensive resource for the SCI adaptive skiing community.
