OPAF’s first visit to DC’s Hospital for Sick Children was a great success. Made possible through our partnership with the District of Columbia Jewish Community Center (DCJCC), the day of activities included arts and crafts and a game of basketball that would have lasted much longer were it not for rain. All in all, the half dozen volunteers helped to bring big smiles to the faces of children who are benefiting from assistive technology and to their visiting family members. We hope to have pictures available on the web soon.
An overview of the OPAF-DCJCC partnership, including brief profiles of some of the children we are serving, will appear in a future “OPAF Matters,” our monthly column in the O&P Almanac. In the meantime, please visit http://www.opfund.org/programs/dc.htm for details and the program schedule.
Growth of the Fund and its programs depends on the generosity of every individual within and beyond the O&P community who shares our commitment to enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. We are always looking to expand our community initiatives through new partnerships and programs, both here in DC and around the United States. If you or your organization would like to partner with us, please contact me. I would be happy to speak with you about opportunities.
Thanks very much for your time and your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jeff
