Our Story
The need for a rehabilitation sponsorship program hit close to home when Scott E. Dillman (our Founder) witnessed a close friend suffer from a life-changing accident. Scott was there for his friend during the post-rehabilitation process and quickly it became clear there was a lack support for those in a similar situation.
On a mission to find a solution, Scott set out to provide not only financial assistance, but a community of support for those who are impacted from life changing illness and injuries. Scott founded the Fighting Back Scholarship Program in 1989 to meet this need.
Scott’s friend, Karen, is the original inspiration for the program was the spark that ultimately led to this now 30+ year old community.
