Paralyzed Veterans of America (Paralyzed Veterans) will mark its 64th
birthday with a whole week of awareness-raising activities, from April
11 through April 17, 2010, and we would love for you to be part of the
celebration.

With events and activities across the country and the theme Empowering Lives, Paralyzed Veterans of America Awareness Week 2010 will highlight the unique challenges facing veterans with spinal cord injury/dysfunction. It will also spotlight the relentless work of Paralyzed Veterans to empower seriously wounded heroes and their families.

Join Paralyzed Veterans as we urge the following:

• Leaders to use your leadership to ensure that paralyzed veterans get the quality care and benefits they need
• Employers to hire more paralyzed veterans and help reduce an 85%
  unemployment rate for veterans with severe disabilities
• Architects and builders to improve their designs by making them more wheelchair-accessible
• All Americans to do something good for paralyzed veterans in your
  community
