The Moving Message

The Moving Message Fund was started in 2010 to provide funding for individuals post stroke and brain injury who need ongoing speech therapy, group therapy, communication devices, e-readers, and/or communication apps. Insurance doesn’t pay for these services or many of the devices and most people cannot afford to privately pay. The Fund provides financial assistance to those who seek to continue to participate in a meaningful life.

To raise money for the Fund, we hold an annual event in September. This is a 1-mile walk, and festival geared toward raising awareness about neurogenic communication disorders and raising money for the Moving Message Fund. There will be motivating speeches, suggestions for how to support communication, stories of those who have had a stroke or brain injury, vendors, artists, raffles, music, food, kids activities, and much more.

This year’s event is Saturday, Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 11am – 2pm on the Albany Campus Quad at Russell Sage (will be moved to The Armory in the event of rain).

Stay tuned for more information regarding registration.
