THE NEED
The Be Perfect Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) with a mission to provide direct financial and emotional aid to individuals living with paralysis. Hal Hargrave Jr. created the Be Perfect Foundation in 2007, just a few months after he suffered a life-altering automobile accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. After recognizing the limitations insurance companies were putting on some of his friends dealing with paralysis, Hal resolved to do his part to help them recover. Since 2007, the Be Perfect Foundation has provided programs and services for those who are affected by paralysis within the LA County, Orange County, and Inland Empire region. To date, BP has raised nearly $10 million for individuals living with paralysis. BP has changed the lives of hundreds of fathers, mothers, siblings, and friends with paralysis by keeping more than 350 in recovery, purchasing medical necessities including more than 100 wheelchairs and other medical equipment and supplies, and providing guidance and emotional support. Be Perfect is a firm believer in exercise and activity, a way of producing secondary complications after sustaining paralysis. Put quite simply, BP believes that exercise is medicine. The program services that BP provides support those with their recovery efforts, in pursuit of keeping those individuals physically fit until the day comes when a cure becomes a reality. With nearly 1.5 million people living in the U.S. with paralysis, there is a continued reason year in and year out for BP to continue to try and raise funds for those who need OUR help with their recovery efforts and in their pursuit to try and regain independence again.
