The Orthotic & Prosthetic Assistance Fund, Inc. (OPAF) extends our thanks to
the O & P community for a terrific meeting in Hollywood, FL as a part of the
AOPA National Assembly. Our OPAF Silent Auction was again very successful
thanks to the generosity of our many bidders and donors. Our First
clinics..First Volley and First Swing on Sunday, October 1 attracted over 25
participants, volunteers and instructors. We distributed over 80 First
Swim/Freedom Fabrication t-shirts at the poolside cocktail party and
featured amputee swimmers, John Thomson, Dennis Williams, CP, and Jason
Wening in the pool. The Thranhardt Golf Classic had more than 65 golfers,
and hosted our first women's division. First Flop, our Texas Hold'em Poker
tournament, sponsored by Bulldog Tools, Grace Prosthetics, O & P Components
and Futura International was also successful with 51 players. Strut Your
Stuff featured 10 amazing AFOs and 212 votes cast with the winner being The
Pirate Ship AFO, created by PEL Central Fabrication. The creative side of
orthotics was represented extremely well.
Thanks to the generosity and support of the O & P community, OPAF will
continue to sponsor our First clinics for amputees, orthosis wearers and
those with physical challenges. For more information on OPAF and our First
clinics and to find out how you can partner with OPAF to sponsor a clinic
for your patients, please contact Robin Burton, OPAF Executive Director at
