Conference Sponsors

The High Desert Human Resources Association and the Dustin Shillcox Foundation are proud to present the 2018 Life Rolls On Benefit Dinner. Dustin’s life changed when he was in a car accident in August of 2010 and sustained major spinal cord damage, a broken upper arm, collapsed lungs, broken ribs, cracked sternum & mild brain injury. Dustin has a T-5 complete spinal cord injury (SCI) which means he has no feeling below his mid-chest. He was told he would never move below his waist again, but after being part of a SCI research project at the University of Kentucky in Louisville he is able to move his legs and stand.

Through his adversity, he was able to find a silver lining, in which he is striving to help not only bring awareness to spinal cord injuries, but to motivate the lives of people who have been through traumatic events. The proceeds will allow the Dustin Shillcox Foundation to provide monetary assistance to individuals who need adaptive equipment and/or modifications to residential housing. The High Desert Human Resources Association will use proceeds to provide grants to help local businesses make modifications to their work site that will enable individuals with disabilities workplace accommodations and/or better access to employment opportunities.

Please join us at the Sweetwater Events Complex on Thursday, September 20, 2018 at 6:30pm for a fun and inspirational evening. The evening will include a great dutch oven dinner, live and silent auctions along with an inspirational message from
