Timeline
In October 2015, Sargent College Dean Christopher Dean announced, at a fundraiser for the foundation, that a group of anonymous donors gave a gift of $2.5 million gift to establish the Travis M. Roy Professorship in Rehabilitation Sciences at Sargent and provide the foundation with office space on campus and a $50,000 annual stipend towards staffing for the next 10 years.
Roy attended Yarmouth High School as a freshman, then transferred to nearby North Yarmouth Academy (NYA) in order to pursue an athletic scholarship. Roy transferred again and graduated from Tabor Academy and received an ice hockey scholarship to Boston University (College of Communications, Class of 2000)
In October 1999, Roy's #24 was retired, and raised to the rafters of Boston University's Walter Brown Arena, now present in BU's Agganis Arena. Roy was the only BU hockey player to have been honored with a retired number until his former coach, Jack Parker was given the honor in 2014.
In 1998, North Yarmouth Academy's ice arena was named the "Travis Roy Arena" in his honor. His jersey number, 00, was retired by NYA as well. It hangs in the rafters alongside Eric Weinrich's #7 — the only numbers retired by NYA.
Roy and Sports Illustrated writer E.M. Swift wrote his autobiography, Eleven Seconds, in 1998.
In 1997, Roy started a foundation called "The Travis Roy Foundation" to help spinal cord injury survivors and to fund research into a cure. Inspired by Travis' own story, the lifeblood of the Travis Roy Foundation has been the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations across North America. This generosity has made an immediate impact on the lives of many individuals.
Since 1997 the Travis Roy Foundation has distributed more than $9 million in individual grants and to research projects and rehabilitation institutions. The individual grant funds have been used to modify vans and to purchase wheelchairs, computers, ramps, shower chairs, and other adaptive equipment to help paraplegics and quadriplegics live their lives.
On October 20, 1995 – just eleven seconds into his first-ever shift for Boston University men's ice hockey team – a 20-year-old Roy slid head-first into the boards after University of North Dakota player Mitch Vig avoided Roy's check. The awkward impact with the boards resulted in Roy's cracking his fourth and fifth vertebra and leaving him a quadriplegic. ,
