A Celebration of the Power to Overcome
Sheltering Arms is once again collaborating with Governor Timothy M. Kaine to declare the third week in September Rehabilitation Awareness Week in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition to the governor’s signed proclamation, Sheltering Arms will honor the hard work and triumphs of all physical rehabilitation patients during this week with the third annual Celebration of the Power to Overcome. This event will take place on Wednesday, September 23 in the Grand Ballroom of The Jefferson Hotel.
The keynote speaker for this year is Mr. Scott Burton, an award-winning comedian, world-class juggler, and cancer survivor who travels across the country providing inspirational entertainment. He will share with us the story of his strenuous yet inspirational path of rehabilitation.
Many state representatives have already committed to attending, and the audience will be comprised of former patients, supporters of Sheltering Arms, and many important decision-makers in the healthcare field. Any donations from the event will subsidize our mission to deliver services to all those in need, regardless of ability to pay.
This will be a truly inspirational event not only for individuals currently facing health challenges, but for all of us who face an uncertain future. Please take some time during the Rehabilitation Awareness week to renew your commitment to the 52 million Americans living with disabilities who, with the help of physical rehabilitation, are able to regain function and enjoy life!
