National Veterans Wheelchair
Games
Philadelphia VA is the host site for the 34th National
Veterans Wheelchair Games: Where Heroes Make History. The Games are
co-presented by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Paralyzed Veterans of
America. To date, we have reached out to over 400 local and national
organizations, many of whom have already agreed to support the Games in a
variety of ways including in-kind donations and financial sponsorships. But as
you can imagine, an event of this size will need to rely on volunteers who serve
as the backbone to make this event successful for over 600 athletes coming from
across the nation, Puerto Rico, and Great Britain.
There are still many opportunities for you to become
involved as the Games are being held in Philadelphia, August 2014 either through
volunteering, donating, or both!
With close to 1 million Veterans calling Pennsylvania home
and an estimated $4 million flowing into Philadelphia for the Games, this is a
unique experience to get involved and show your Philly pride.
Why get involved?
- Support of the games, whether through time or donations, promotes you as a
leader engaged and committed on the front lines of one of the most pressing
issues affecting our nation today - Veteran reintegration and rehabilitation
- Your support of the Games will have a direct, positive impact on the
Philadelphia area
- Most importantly, supporting the Games will help Veterans challenge
themselves to celebrate their abilities as they participate in a week of
competition, camaraderie and courage
Attached are a variety of materials highlighting the Games
as well as information on how to volunteer. If you have any questions about
volunteering, feel free to contact Voluntary Service, via e-mail at
NVWGPhillyVolunteer@va.gov or via telephone 215-823-7800.
(Here are) three links featuring a variety of information
on the Games. The last link, of particular interest, is the inspirational video
featuring last year’s Games in Tampa, Florida.
The volunteer application lists the exact dates and times
for the sporting events. A 2-page volunteer application will need to be
completed if you are interested in volunteering. These forms can be returned in
various ways: 1) Email to
NVWGPhillyVolunteer@va.gov; 2) Fax: (215) 823-4452; or mail to Voluntary
Service, Philadelphia VA Medical Center, 3900 Woodland Avenue, Philadelphia, PA
19104.
We look forward to speaking to you more about volunteer
opportunities for the 34th National Veterans Wheelchair Games: Where Heroes Make
History. If you have any questions about the games, please contact call (215)
823-7800/e-mail
