The Mission of SBAK is to build a better & brighter future for all those impacted by spina bifida. As part of this mission, SBAK has developed a Financial Assistance Fund to help individuals affected by Spina Bifida lead better lives by assisting them in areas such as education and physical needs. Through this program, we have been able to purchase equipment to make homes more accessible and handcycles and basketball chairs to promote physical activity.  This fund has also paid medical and therapy bills that would have otherwise been out of reach for families.  Financial Assistance has even provided scholarships for families to attend our Spina Bifida Association of Kentucky Regional Conference as well as the Spina Bifida Association's advocacy event, Teal on the Hill.

Please send completed FAF Applications to Mary Beth at mlong@sbak.org or mail to:
