Teddy and Joan Pendergrass Foundation makes gift to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital

Members of the Teddy & Joan Pendergrass Board of Directors visited Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlestown, Massachusetts, where they toured the state-of-the-art facility with hospital officials. During the visit Foundation President Mrs. Joan Pendergrass donated $3,000.00 to the hospital to benefit the Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) inpatient program, one of the most comprehensive programs of its kind in the nation.

The Foundation, which is led by Pendergrass’s widow, Joan, continues to focus on its number one goal, which is to ensure people living with Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI), continue to advance and lead productive lives. The continued goal carries on through its aim to help others with SCI achieve their maximum potential while keeping Teddy’s mission and legacy alive.
