Upcoming Triumph Foundation Event<\/p><\/div>\n

Triumph Foundation<\/a> is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to help children, adults, and Veterans with Spinal Cord Injury\/Disorder to triumph over their disability and to inspire them to keep moving forward with their lives by pushing themselves to get better every day.<\/p>\n

Triumph works to minimize the obstacles that one faces after suffering Spinal Cord Injury.\u00a0 We specialize in galvanizing and restoring lives after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI).\u00a0 Triumph Foundation provides resources, hope and security to people living with paralysis \u2013 not just initially when the injury\/disorder occurs, but as a lifelong support network.\u00a0 Additionally, we hold events that are a captivating force within the entire disabled community.\u00a0 We are the go-to organization for people living with impairment in Southern California.<\/p>\n

The cornerstone of our outreach is giving newly injured people Care Baskets that are like tool-kits\u00a0which provide information and resources about the many organizations, assistance programs, and activities that exist to help people with an SCI with their new beginning and to enable them to keep living their lives to the fullest potential.<\/p>\n
