In addition, Lakeshore has earned an international reputation as a center for training and competition in 13 disabled sports. Lakeshore Foundation now serves more than 3,400 people annually who have experienced physically disabling conditions such as spinal cord or head injury, stroke, amputation, cerebral palsy, post-polio, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and who have sustained injuries through accidents or from acts of violence. Our programs and services are open to anyone in Alabama who might benefit from them. All programs and services are based at the Lakeshore campus. Lakeshore's primary service area is the Greater Birmingham area, but we can provide outreach services to the entire state of Alabama.
Some programs have regional impact, and several are being replicated nationwide .
The Lakeshore Foundation offers opportunities for volunteerism throughout the year.
