PARALYZED VETERANS OF AMERICA

The Paralyzed Veterans of America Buckeye Chapter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving approximately 455 members in the state of Ohio. Our chapter is one of 33 chapters of the Paralyzed Veterans of America. Membership is free to qualified individuals who are honorably discharged veterans with spinal cord injury, MS, or ALS. Most of our members are people with quadriplegia or paraplegia who use wheelchairs. Our chapter is celebrating its 53rd year serving our members.

Buckeye PVA focuses on improving the quality of life of our members, through services including liaison at area VA hospitals, emergency assistance, and support making modifications to homes and vehicles in the aftermath of spinal cord injury or disease. Our chapter also provides a variety of adaptive athletic and social programs to benefit members.
