Gridiron Heroes: Life After Spinal Cord Injuries

Life after catastrophic injuries can seem insurmountable for the young athletes who survive such trauma.  One in every 100,000 high school football players faces a serious spinal cord injury each year. Gridiron Heroes Spinal Cord Injury Foundation aims to help students face the challenges that come whether it's physically, emotionally, mentally, or financially.

Gridiron Heroes founders have a very personal story that led to the creation of this 501 (C) 3 Non-Profit.  They provide immediate and long term support to individuals sustaining a catastrophic spinal cord injury associated with high school football.  The organization, although based in Texas, has made efforts to expand their support around the U.S.
