United Spinal Association has launched a membership drive in celebration of its 75 years of service to the spinal cord injury and disorder community, offering its members a chance to win a variety of prizes donated by companies committed to “Building an Inclusive World” for people with disabilities.

“Over the past 75 years we have empowered wheelchair users and other individuals with mobility disabilities to discover greater quality of life and independence. We hope the campaign will help garner more interest in joining United Spinal and expand our reach so that we can provide critical programs and services to even more people in need.”

— Megan Chintalla, Manager of Corporate Relations at United Spinal

United Spinal will hold prize drawings at numerous member events this year, including its 75th Anniversary Virtual Gala in November, it notes in a media release.

The Gala will bring together stakeholders from across the country, including United Spinal members, allies, elected officials, community activists, organizational leaders, and many special guests to celebrate the organization’s impact in advancing disability rights.

Prizes include accessible products, mobile devices, gift cards and more donated by United Spinal’s corporate partners such as Adaptdefy, Alaska Air, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and Wheeleez.

“BraunAbility is proud to support United Spinal for its tireless pursuit of inclusion, accessibility and empowerment for people with mobility challenges. For 75 years, United Spinal has been a leading ally for the disability community, and BraunAbility is proud to honor and celebrate their significant impact on this important anniversary.”

Individuals must be United Spinal members to be entered into the prize drawings. Membership is free and open to people with spinal cord injuries or disorders, family members, care providers and professionals, and interested individuals, per the release.
