A recent call for volunteers from the chair of the National Veterans Wheelchair Games:
Please share this link with anyone you know that is interested in volunteering for the 2011 National Veterans Wheelchair Games (NVWG), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August 1-6, 2011. The NVWG are the World's largest annual wheelchair sports competition.
The NVWG are hosted by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Paralyzed Veterans of America. The NVWG was an important part of my rehabilitation and re-integration and remains as relevant for today's young Veterans and active-duty wounded, injured or ill.
We need 3,000 volunteers to ensure an outstanding games for our wounded, injured, or ill military Veterans and active-duty troops. Volunteers are needed starting today and as well as during the Games.
Registration for athletes will begin in January, 2011. We would also like to get the word-out to WTU's, Marine WWR, and eligible Veterans.
The 2011 NVWG volunteer registration website is up and running on our website and people can begin self registering or registering their groups via our online tool.
Users are now able to self register and/or register their group by clicking on the "Volunteer" link.
I have the honor of Chairing the NVWG 2011 Pittsburgh Local Organizing Committee, and hope that you will lend your support.
Best wishes,
Rory A. Cooper
