The 3 PM event is by invitation only. Reeve, 44, whose work as an actress was seen on Broadway, Off-Broadway and in regional theatres such as Williamstown Theatre Festival, where she would eventually served on its board, was widow of actor Christopher Reeve.

An Immeasurable Impact

As a founding board member of the Christopher Reeve Foundation, Dana Reeve succeeded her late husband, Christopher Reeve, as Chair of the Board of Directors in 2004.

Dana established the Reeve Foundation’s quality of life initiatives: the Paralysis Resource Center and the Quality of Life Grants program.

When Christopher was injured, Dana felt lost in a sea of information as she started to navigate their changing life. While her husband fought for a cure, Dana wanted to build a framework of support for individuals, families, and caregivers impacted by paralysis.

The Paralysis Resource Center is a free, comprehensive, national source of informational support for people living with paralysis and their caregivers. Since its inception, the PRC has helped tens of thousands of people living with paralysis access critical resources and information to elevate their quality of life. It is Dana’s legacy, a place to reach out for help, guidance, and support.

As a pillar of the PRC, the Quality of Life Grants program awards financial support
