Sharing Information about the Stepping Strong Center
We want to make it easy for you to talk about the Stepping Strong Center and the amazing work they do. Find their elevator pitch and definition of traumatic injury to help you in conversations where donors ask for more information.
Elevator Pitch:
Founded by survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing, The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation transforms how we prevent, treat, and recover from traumatic injury—the number one cause of death for people under 44 in the United States. Through research grants, educational programs, and patient-focused initiatives, the center unites healthcare professionals to develop innovative treatments that revolutionize trauma care and rebuild lives.
Definition of Traumatic Injury:
Traumatic injury is sudden intentional or unintentional exposure to an external force, object, or substance resulting in severe or life-threatening bodily harm. Examples include, but are not limited to, injuries from motor vehicle crashes, violence, blasts, drownings, natural disasters, and falls.
