Happy Anniversary to the First Clinics! From Robin Burton, Executive Director at Orthotic & Prosthetic Activities Foundation: August 7 marks the eighth anniversary of the launch of OPAF’s national award winning First Volley™ Adaptive Tennis Clinics. Since that time, OPAF has developed ten more First Clinics offering a wide variety of recreational opportunities to anyone with a physical challenge. OPAF has hosted over 200 First Clinics across the nation, affecting the lives of over 6500 attendees. This has been done at no cost to any participant! OPAF will introduce First Fit™ as the newest member of the OPAF family of clinics in Orlando on Saturday, September 21 as part of the Limb Loss Education Day at the Gaylord Palms in conjunction with the AOPA World Congress. First Fit will offer an introduction or re-introduction to a fitness routine developed for the individual needs of each participant. The clinic will feature NFL Hall of Famer, Joe DeLamielleure as part of our teaching staff. Joe earned a reputation for always being in top physical condition while playing as an offensive lineman for the Buffalo Bills and later in his career for the Cleveland Browns. OPAF will also host our always popular Silent Auction during the meeting in the exhibit hall for all to enjoy along with the Fall Thranhardt Golf Classic at the beginning of the week. None of this would be possible without the donations and financial support of the O & P industry and our sponsors and partners. Thank YOU for helping us to continue ‘Giving Wings to Dreams!” You can help us continue the work with your donations to OPAF and The First Clinics with support of our fundraising activities and contributions.
