About beyondthelights.org
Beyond the Lights Celebrity Golf Classic will be hosted by actors Kyle Chandler and Brad Leland of the critically acclaimed NBC television series "Friday Night Lights". Kyle and Brad learned about those living with paralysis by getting to know and work with actors with real-life spinal cord injuries while shooting the series. The strength, courage and determination of those young actors and others who live with paralysis moved and inspired the hosts into action. Their first annual Golf Classic hopes to create a greater public awareness of those affected by spinal cord injuries and support those that focus on care, research and finding a cure for paralysis.How beyondthelights.org Moved Neutral
