The Robert Rose Foundation
The Robert Rose Foundation provides support to those with trauma spinal cord injuries and their families. 100% of all funding raised is distributed to those in need for Spinal Cord Injured (SCI) equipment, sporting equipment, home modifications and further education programs.
The Robert Rose Foundation was created in 1999, soon after the death of Robert Rose. Robert, a brilliant sportsman, who played AFL for Collingwood and Footscray and cricket for Victoria, became a quadriplegic at 22 years of age after a car accident in 1974. For 25 years thereafter, Robert's passion for sport never diminished, however, he had to cope with being the observer rather than the player.
Robert's family, led by his father, Collingwood football legend Bob Rose, created the Foundation to assist people with trauma spinal cord injuries and their families who are in necessitous circumstances.
Funding raised also helps supports Independence Australia’s counselling service. These services help clients deal with the social and emotional issues that often affect people with disabilities living in the community.
