What is the mission of your organization?

The Paralyzed Veterans of America, Buckeye Chapter strives to improve the quality of life of honorably discharged veterans who have spinal cord injury, dysfunction or illness including but not limited to multiple sclerosis and ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) through advocacy, medical research, sports and recreation, education and communication.

Any other categories (not listed above) that your agency addresses?

Adaptive sports

Most schools have between $1000 and $1500 to grant. How could your organization use a grant of this size? *

This grant would go a long way to sponsor paralyzed veterans who desire to attend adaptive sports programs in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Any other comments you would like to share with the students who might be reviewing your request?

While we are a statewide organization, our Cincinnati office at the Veterans Administration Medical Center has a very active group of people with disabilities. The grant would be an excellent way to make sure those who served our country honorably and now reside in Greater Cincinnati can continue to participate in programs specifically designed for spinal cord injury or disease.

Does your organization have volunteer opportunities available for high school students?

Yes

List possible volunteer opportunities -or- a link to where they can be found on the web.

Assist with adaptive sports events, serving food (based on hospital regulations), help with programs for patients (again, subject to hospital regulations).l
