An Inspirational Journey Since 2019. Today, We Celebrate.


Helping kids with spinal cord injuries — and their families — find strength, support, and their next win.

The WillPower Community Foundation is a Dripping Springs, Texas nonprofit. We support families of children with traumatic spinal cord injuries, fund access to sports and recreation, and support research toward treatment and a cure.

Need support for your child?

If your child has a traumatic spinal cord injury and your family needs help, we want to hear from you.

Our Mission

Three things we do.

No mission drift. Since 2019, the same three pillars.

Family support

A spinal cord injury doesn't only change a child's life — it changes the whole family's. We provide financial and emotional support to families of children with traumatic spinal cord injuries.

Access to play

Will plays wheelchair basketball. It's where he competes, where he wins, and where he's most himself. We fund programs that get kids with spinal cord injuries into sports and recreation.

Research

We support research into treatment, rehabilitation, and a cure for pediatric spinal cord injury. Because "for now" should never mean "forever."

How WillPower Started

One kid. One crash. One town that refused to sit still.

In 2019, seven-year-old Will Allen suffered a spinal cord injury in a near-fatal auto accident. What happened next — the GoFundMe, the #willpower hashtag, the rec baseball tournament that grew to 60 teams in a matter of days — is why this foundation exists.

"It was Will crying — the best sound I'll ever hear in my life." Tim Allen, Will's dad

What's Next

We're always working on the next thing.

Tournaments, the gala, community events — Facebook is where we post first. Follow along there for the most up-to-date happenings.

Or let us come to you.

Event invites, Will's progress, and stories from the community.

A few emails a year. Never more than you'd want.
