OPAF WELCOMES GOLD SPONSORSHIP OF OTTO BOCK HEALTH CARE
Washington, DC - The Orthotic and Prosthetic Assistance Fund (OPAF)
warmly welcomes Otto Bock Health Care as an annual gold sponsor of
OPAF's community programs: <URL Redacted>
The generous support of Otto Bock Health Care enables OPAF to sustain
its programs for individuals with physical disabilities, especially
those who benefit from O&P.
Founded in 1919, Otto Bock Health Care is the global realization of Otto
Bock's vision for improving human independence. The Minneapolis-based
location, established in 1958, is the North and South American corporate
headquarters of Otto Bock Healthcare, GmbH, based in Duderstadt,
Germany. Otto Bock has more than 3,000 employees worldwide and produces
over 20,000 types of prosthetic and orthotic components, rehabilitation
products and technical plastics, and also provides information
technology services.
Partnering with OPAF lets us take our vision of supporting human
independence to another level, said Pat Chelf, Vice President of
Marketing. Otto Bock's role goes deeper than just providing innovative
products -- we also seek ways to invest in keeping the industry strong
and vital.
OPAF is a 501(c)(3) public charity, the official philanthropy of the
U.S. orthotics and prosthetics community, established in 1995 by the
Orthotic and Prosthetic National Office. Dedicated initially to
providing financial and in-kind support to the 1996 Paralympics, OPAF
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.
As a community-focused nonprofit organization, 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.
All contributions to OPAF are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of
U.S. law, and annual sponsorships of OPAF, its programs, and its
fundraisers are available to every individual, institution, and company
inside and beyond the O&P community. For more information about
sponsorship opportunities contact OPAF at 1666 K Street NW, Suite 440,
Washington, DC 20006, Tel. (202) 223-2878, email <Email Address Redacted> , or
