Paralyzed Veterans of America Fundraising

The Gettysburg Festival of Races is thrilled to support the charitable work of the Paralyzed Veterans of America by waiving the race entry fee for participants who fund raise for this worthy cause.  To earn a free entry, you need to raise $250 (marathon or half marathon) or $100 (5K).  If you already signed up, we will refund your entry fee when you hit the goal.

Paralyzed Veterans of America, a congressionally chartered veterans service organization founded in 1946, has developed a unique expertise on a wide variety of issues involving the special needs of our members – veterans of the armed forces who have experienced spinal cord injury or dysfunction.

PVA will use that expertise to be the leading advocate for:

• Quality health care for our members,
• Research and education addressing spinal cord injury and dysfunction,
• Benefits available as a result of our members’ military service,
• Civil rights and opportunities that maximize the independence of our members.
