Employees of the Shepherd Center are on a roll.

They recently raised more than $113,000 to buy a new, state-of-the-art accessible bus to be used for field trip for young adult patients. The annual employee giving program is called "ShepherdCares" and this year raised a record amount.

Each year, the ShepherdCares advisory committee selects a program to support.

Shepherd Center specializes in medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injury or brain injury.
