Casa Colina's Tribute to Courage is a black-tie gala that celebrates the success of rehabilitation. With the help of notable people such as author Steven King,
actress Bonnie Hunt and coach John Wooden, Casa Colina has told many successful stories of the power of rehabilitation with drama and passion.
Past honorees of this event have included wounded warriors from Iraq and Afghanistan, business executives, young adults, and people from every walk of life who
have gained the status of "hero" by their single-minded pursuit of "total rehabilitation" after an illness or injury.
The evening provides a way of educating people about the rehabilitation process and what it can mean to someone whose life "completely changes in an instant."
The proceeds of this event help fund Casa Colina's ability to provide free or uncompensated care to patients in need, as well as to ensure ongoing excellence
in rehabilitation services.
