To improve the quality of life of u.s. Military veterans and all who have experienced spinal cord injury/dysfunction through advocacy for proper health care, promotion of sports, education, and communication.

What it reported doing in 2023

Outreach: the visits to the tucson va provided us with 2 female members to represent the Arizona chapter at the national pvas woman's veterans empowerment retreat. We were able to give away a roof repair to a deserving vetran through a national pva program. Next on our list was finding two menbers to receive recycled vehicles from the national autobody council. One of our worthy members received a 2012 toyota sienna van with a six-way power seat, hand controls, and a powerlift. Our second member was awarded a 2017 chevrolet silverado. We also gave away food boxes, a bag of fruit, and turkeys at the phoenix sci/d clinic. Membership and benefits: added 23 new members and 25 members passed during the year; assisted veterans in obtaining an aggregate of approximately 9.9 million in cash benefits through our nso office.
