MPVA is a nonprofit organization and receives no federal funding. MPVA relies on grants, sponsorships, and private and corporate donations to support its programs.

This amazing organization has its own motto and mission they follow which is to “enhance the lives of veterans with spinal cord injury or disease as well as all citizens with disabilities, by advocating for civil rights, assuring quality health care, supporting continued research and education, and encouraging independence and healthy living through various health, sports and recreational programs.”

Stop by the MPVA on Thursday, April 13th and learn about what an impact these people have had on our country. Or just stop in one day and check the place out for a few minutes.
