"It is important that those of us with SCI live and are given the right to live as individuals in the way that we choose."

Mission Statement

The mission of the Teddy Pendergrass Alliance is to create a coordinated outreach organization that encourages and assists individuals with spinal chord injuries (SCI) to achieve their maximum potential in areas of education, employment, housing, productivity and overall independence.

Through partnerships with existing organizations, the TPA strives to expose the necessary resources; as well as help make the appropriate connections for people with SCI, so that they can have the opportunity to lead productive lives in their chosen profession.

In addition, the TPA aims to highlight the contributions and achievements of these individuals in an ongoing effort to change the negative perceptions, which currently exist for people living with SCI.
