Washington, DC - Tamara Bibby, program coordinator of the Orthotic and
Prosthetic Assistance Fund (OPAF), has received a scholarship for
membership in the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP)
Washington DC Metro Area Chapter. With this membership, Bibby will be
able to represent OPAF formally among professionals in the fundraising
field.
For over 40 years, AFP has been the standard-bearer for professionalism
in fundraising, representing 26,000 members in 169 chapters in the
United States, Canada, and Mexico. AFP fundraising professionals work
collaboratively advancing philanthropy through advocacy, research,
education, and certification programs. The many benefits of membership
include access to the AFP's fundraising resource center, networking
events, educational programs, and discounts on fundraising books and
materials.
Tamara's receipt of this award is a great honor not only for her but
also for OPAF and the O&P community we represent in philanthropic and
community circles, said Dr. Jeff Reznick, OPAF Executive Director and
Senior Research Fellow. OPAF has made substantial progress in program
development this year. Foremost among our accomplishments is our own
grant program which connects OPAF to other 501(c)(3) nonprofits that
share our commitment to supporting an enhanced quality of life for
individuals with disabilities, especially those served by members of the
orthotics and prosthetics community. Tamara's AFP award, alongside our
2002 program achievements and our recent award from the Corporation for
National and Community Service, enables OPAF to look toward a fruitful
new year.
The Orthotic and Prosthetic Assistance Fund is nonprofit organization, a
501(c) (3) public charity, established in 1995 by the Orthotic and
Prosthetic National Office. Dedicated initially to providing financial
and in-kind support to the 1996 Paralympics, the Fund now generates its
own initiatives through partnerships with individuals, organizations and
institutions engaged in raising public awareness of disability and
improving the quality of rehabilitation medicine, science and
technology.
OPAF aims primarily to enable individuals with physical
disabilities-especially those served by members of the orthotics and
prosthetics community-to enjoy the rewards of personal achievement,
physical fitness, and social interaction.
