OPAF, the Orthotic & Prosthetic Activities Foundation will be hosting a New
Foot Technology Showcase at our booth space in the Exhibit Hall at the
upcoming Academy Annual Meeting in New Orleans. The New Foot Technology
Showcase will be one location where practitioners can compare side by side
the latest and greatest in today’s prosthetic feet. OPAF will be offering
the showcase as a fundraiser and will be auctioning off feet donated to us
by manufacturers. Funds raised will help replace lost income from the
cancellation of the Spring Thranhardt Golf Classic in New Orleans due to
the timing of the meeting.
We are offering the opportunity for foot manufacturers to donate artwork
and specs for feet they willing to donate to the showcase. We will have
the artwork printed in poster form, along with a sign urging practitioners
to visit your booth, named and numbered, for further information, thus
driving traffic to your booth. We will have limited space to display feet
for the showcase, which is why we are asking for your artwork/poster/spec
sheet.
Please consider this another opportunity to reach out to Academy meeting
attendees about your prosthetic foot and offer a sample of your wares. A
donation form is available on our website for your convenience at
opafonline.org. Your participation in the OPAF New Foot Technology Showcase
will allow us to continue to offer First Clinics across the country to
amputees at no cost to any participant.
Should you have any questions or comments, please contact me directly. I
look forward to seeing many of you in the next weeks at both the Hanger
Education Fair and in New Orleans. We appreciate your support of the
philanthropic arm of orthotics and prosthetics in the United States.
