Thank you to everyone – OPAF’s Board of Directors, its founders AAOP,
ABC, and AOPA, its program partners, and its donors – for supporting the
organization as it has grown in its representation of O&P in community
and philanthropic circles. Without such generosity, OPAF would not have
seen such success this year in touching the lives of so many
individuals.
In the coming year, OPAF looks forward to working with more members of
the O&P community to expand its direct-service programs further in order
to achieve two key goals: reach more individuals who use prostheses and
build more substantial connections to those who use orthoses. Your
continued support of our work will help us attain our objectives and
reach greater levels of direct public service. Thank you again.
If you are attending the upcoming AOPA National Assembly, please stop by
OPAF’s booth (#GS2) in the Grand Salon of the Reno Hilton to say hello
and learn more about the organization’s recent accomplishments and plans
for 2004 and beyond.

OPAF is a 501(c)(3) public charity, the official philanthropy of the
U.S. orthotics and prosthetics community, established in 1995 by the
Orthotic and Prosthetic National Office. Dedicated initially to
providing financial and in-kind support to the 1996 Paralympics, OPAF
now generates its own initiatives through partnerships with individuals,
organizations and institutions engaged in raising public awareness of
disability and improving the quality of rehabilitation medicine, science
and technology.
As a community-focused nonprofit organization, OPAF aims primarily to
enable individuals with physical disabilities-especially those served by
members of the orthotics and prosthetics community-to enjoy the rewards
of personal achievement, physical fitness, and social interaction.
All contributions to OPAF are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of
U.S. law, and annual sponsorships of OPAF, its programs, and its
fundraisers are available to every individual, institution, and company
inside and beyond the O&P community. For more information about
sponsorship opportunities contact OPAF at 1666 K Street NW, Suite 440,
Washington, DC 20006, Tel. (202) 223-2878, email [email protected], or
