The Kelly Brush Ride in the Bay Area champions the Kelly Brush Foundation, which is dedicated to inspiring and empowering individuals with spinal cord injuries to pursue active and engaged lifestyles.

The Kelly Brush Foundation, established in 2006, empowers thousands of Americans with spinal cord injuries to achieve independence. They do this by funding adaptive sports and recreation equipment and by fostering connections within the adaptive sports community. Their impact in California is significant, with 157 grants totaling $533,000 awarded for adaptive sports equipment.
