Sabrina Cohen is the Founder / President of the Sabrina Cohen Foundation (SCF), a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing adaptive fitness and recreational programs that provide a better quality of life for individuals living with paralysis and various disabilities.
Born and raised in Miami Beach, Florida, Sabrina endured a severe C3-5 spinal cord injury in 1992 at the age of 14 from a car accident. She instantly became a quadriplegic and has been confined to a wheelchair ever since. Sabrina has traveled the country advocating extensively for research and quality of life health initiatives and is also a Motivational Speaker who has spoken to thousands of students about life with paralysis, urging and inspiring young students to drive carefully. In 2016, Sabrina helped launch “Adaptive Beach Days”, a bi-monthly all inclusive, full service program to provide access to the beach and ocean for disabled individuals, veterans, children with special needs, and the elderly. Today, Sabrina and SCF are spearheading a campaign to build our Nation’s first of a kind beachside Adaptive Recreation Center in South Florida to provide year-round beach access and fitness programs to the disabled community. AFL is very excited and proud to have her on our board as an Advisor. |
