Bend it for Beckam

Bend it for Beckam, inc. was created in honor of our brave BPI Warrior, Beckam.  Born with a right brachial plexus injury, Beckam faced challenges from the very beginning.  A brachial plexus injury affects the nerves in the neck that controls arm movement.  The severity can range from paralysis to full range of motion.  Throughout his journey, Beckam endured countless doctor appointments, specialists' visits, physical therapy and two surgeries.

​

Despite every obstacle, Beckam showed incredible strength, determination, and courage.  Two goals we prayed and fought for were for him to one day throw a ball and raise his arm above elbow level.  With perseverance, Beckam accomplished both of those goals. Watching those milestones become reality was one of our family's greatest blessings.

​

In March 2020, at just 19 months old, Beckam passed away due to other medical complications.  What began as a Facebook page to update friends and family about Beckam's journey with BPI has since grown into Bend it for Beckam, inc.  a non-profit organization dedicated to continuing Beckam's mission and spreading hope to others facing difficult battles.

​

Over the years, we have been honored to support children with medical needs, provide school supplies to a local kindergarten class, raise donations to Dr Kozin's clinic at Shriners Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, and send toys to little BPI warriors to encourage smiles and strength throughout their journey.

​

Bend it for Beckam is built on a promise we made to Beckam - to continue shining his light and living by the lessons he taught us:
