Mission Statement
Rush For A Cause Foundation is established to provide community and financial support for qualified tragically and severely injured athletes, to raise awareness for the need, and to help promote injury prevention.
The Inspiration For The Foundation
On a fateful Friday night in October, 2009 I learned of a fellow football player who was tragically injured in a routine tackle and was left paralyzed.
It's About Making A Difference
I knew that I needed to do something to make a difference. I knew that I needed to take action. I decided to make a difference by using my role as a running back to raise money, and I decided to recruit my fellow football players to help me in my cause.
It's About Compassion And Giving Back
I recognize that this could happen to anyone...this could happen to me, you, or someone you love. Lives are forever changed undeservingly and unexpected. I believe others recognize this, too and are compassionate and want to give back.
Your Opportunity To Help Make A Difference
Every donation, large or small, will help the Foundation to help others. Together, we can make a big difference. Please don't wait. Take action.
FAVORITE QUOTES/SAYINGS:
"No matter what accomplishments you make, someone helps you."

"When we believe that each day BRINGS A
CHANCE for something wonderful.
When we trust the part of us that whispers ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
When we understand that WE’RE EACH A PART OF SOMETHING SO MUCH BIGGER - then miracles have a way of finding us."
