The Paralyzed Veterans of America California Chapter has been serving Veterans with Spinal Cord Injuries and Diseases for over 75 years. We are the oldest chapter in the country, and the PVA is the only Non Profit chartered by Congress dedicated to serving Veterans with Spinal Cord Injuries and Diseases .
We provide both local programs for our members, and the means for our members to try ANY type of adaptive program anywhere in the nation. From Fishing to Sky Diving, SCUBA, to Skiing, Computer Classes to PHD programs.... basically ANYTHING that helps "Put A Smile" on a Veterans face, we are there for them.
Each of our 600+ members is eligible for up to $2000/year to go out and experience Life and do something that is fun to them. That is potentially $1.2M/year just in Sports/Recreation/Education Grants.
When you donate to this campaign, 100% of your donation will go directly into the hands of a veteran looking to go out an "Put A Smile On Their Face" whether doing something listed above or a myriad of other activities they might be interested in. This is a great opportunity for you to directly make a vet smile.
I could not be more honored to be the president of this amazing organization. I'm asking all my friends and family to support me on this amazing opportunity. I am committed to raising a personal goal of $10,000 for this rappel and hope I can get your support for any amount towards this event.
If you would like to personally Go Over The Edge for PVACC during this event, and take the 141 foot rappel yourself, call our office at 877 PVACC-31 / 877 782-2231 and ask for Dick or Liz, and they will set you up.

ABOUT PVACC :
The mission of the Paralyzed Veterans of America California Chapter is to make lives better for Paralyzed Veterans and their families across Southern California. They have been doing this for 75 years and are the oldest PVA Chapter in the Nation. The PVA is the Nation's leading nonprofit advocate for veteran's living with Spinal Cord Injuries and/or Diseases. 100% of the $1500 you raise will go directly in to veterans pockets to "Put A Smile On Their Face" as part of our Fiscal Year 2022 "100 New Smiles Campaign" where we are giving 100 members who have never taken advantage of our Sports, Recreation, & Education Grant their first $1000 to go do something amazing and get them excited about getting out and living amazing lives.
