Courage Cards: A Legacy

Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute provides life-changing programs that empower people of all ages with disabilities, injuries and chronic health conditions to increase their independence, improve their mobility and lead fulfilling lives.

For over 65 years, Courage Cards has been showcasing the talents of artists with disabilities while supporting the programs and services of Courage Kenny. When you send a fine-art Courage Card, you're saying, "I care about you." You're also saying, "I believe in the quality of a program that has stood the test of time and helps people live more independently."

1958

Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, then known as Courage Center, introduced its holiday card program with a single card offered to acknowledge honorees when donations were received in their name.

1960

The first Courage Cards featuring original artwork were sold to satisfy requests from donors.

1970 - 2000

The Courage Cards program continued to grow, with card sales doubling annually and its reach spreading across the country. At the same time, programs and the need for services also grew.

2013

Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute was formed joining the missions of Courage Cards and the Art of Possibilities Art Show & Sale, promoting and supporting the works of artists with disabilities.

Today

Every card sold continues to support Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute’s advanced therapy programs and life-changing community services. Courage Cards has raised over $7 million to date for Courage Kenny.

Thank you for choosing Courage Cards and being part of our legacy – helping people with disabilities in our community live more independently and lead lives of purpose. Your customers, colleagues, and associates will appreciate knowing that you care, in more ways than one.

Jen Kelly's journey with horses began at the age of eight. In 2020, a ride with a friend took a tragic turn when her horse was spooked, throwing Jen to the ground. The impact left her with a spinal cord injury and paralysis from the neck down.

Transferred to the Allina Health Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute in Golden Valley, her neurologist said, "You will walk again." That message became her hope.

"Those words were my marching orders," Jen recalls. Jen is grateful for the support she received from her registered nurse navigator. Her nurse navigator became a single point of contact to manage medications, appointments and questions. Jen says the spinal cord injury added new complexities to her daily life, but her nurse navigator eased that stress.

"Knowing that I had someone to count on, knowing I had a person who was in my corner, that was always comforting and brought a lot of relief," said Jen. From wheelchair to walking sticks, and now walking unassisted, Jen's care journey continues,enriched by the programs at Courage Kenny. "Life is good. It's not always easy, but it is very rich and very good."

Introducing The Landwehr Family

With two energetic boys, the Landwehr household is always in motion. What makes their story unique is that both Hunter (10) and Ben (8) were born with spina bifida.

From the beginning, parents Liz and Kevin have navigated the complex medical and social needs that come with the diagnosis. Along the way, they found a second home at Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, where therapists, sports and recreation staff, and other families offered support, education, and friendship.

Hunter was about a year old when they first brought him to Courage Kenny. Doctors had said he’d never walk—but with help from physical and occupational therapists, he learned to crawl and then walk. Today, he walks with the support of braces.

Like his brother, Ben began therapy early to build strength and independence. The family has grown close to the team that’s supported them for nearly a decade. “We trust the therapists so much, and they’ve been nothing but great,” said Liz.

As the boys got older, Hunter found it harder to keep up in traditional sports. That’s when the family turned to Courage Kenny’s Sports and Recreation programs—and never looked back.

Since then, the brothers have tried tennis, golf, rock climbing, track and field, and swimming. They’ve made strong friendships—kids and parents alike. “It’s like a family to us,” said Kevin.

Both now play on the Rolling Rowdies traveling basketball team. “They should try it out because it’s fun and because it makes it so people in a wheelchair can play a sport,” said Hunter. “It’s an opportunity for people to do what pro athletes can do.”
