On With Life Foundation

On With Life Foundation Mission

Supporting On With Life's network of brain injury rehabilitation programs helping persons served to get on with their lives.

The On With Life Foundation, a 501(a) charitable organization, was established in 1992 to ensure that each person served has the equipment, services, and environment necessary to maximize their rehabilitation potential. We know that by providing compassionate, dignified care for each person served, we build an atmosphere of confidence and trust that allows everyone who is part of the program to get "on with life".

The On With Life Foundation helps On With Life provide excellent rehabilitation, long-term and community based services to persons with brain injury by leading fundraising activities on their behalf.

Through the generosity of its donors, the On With Life Foundation continues to change lives. Here are just a few examples:

• A specialized wheelchair with a customized seating system and headrest that provides ideal positioning and maximizes a person's ability to participate in rehabilitation programming.
• Augmentative communication devices, such as our new computerized eye blink system, that allow persons served to express their needs and interests through the use of technology that provides synthesized voicing.
• Electronic lift transfers promote the safety of the persons served and protect staff members in frequent bed-to-wheelchair transfers.
• Comfort items such as blanket warmers that enhance the rehabilitation experience for individuals whose bodies are not able to adequately regulate their temperatures.

The On With Life Foundation offers a variety of ways for donors to give

• Our On-line "Make a Donation" page accessible on the menu
• A gift in memory or in honor of someone dear to you
• Sponsorship of the On With Life Golf Outing & Silent Auction
• An annual gift to be matched by your employer
• Having your United Way gift designated for On With Life
• A gift of stock
• A bequest in your will
