27th National Veterans Wheelchair Games
June 19-23, 2007
Milwaukee, WI

 

 

The National Veterans Wheelchair Games are presented each year by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), with additional support from numerous corporate and community sponsors. Hosts – The Milwaukee VA Medical Center and the Wisconsin Chapter of PVA are hosting the 2007 National Veterans Wheelchair Games. The events take place in and around the Milwaukee area, June 19-23, 2007.

 

Each year, VA and PVA jointly select the site for the National Veterans Wheelchair Games, based on availability of sports venues, accessibility of the city and local interest. At each host site, a local organizing committee works closely with national VA and PVA officials to ensure the success of the Games. As a premiere sports city, with numerous areas of interest, the athletes and their fans can look forward to experiencing a week of what makes Milwaukee a Great Place on a Great Lake. We are honored to support and welcome more than 500 veterans with disabilities from across the United States, Puerto Rico and Great Britain to our city, to compete in the 27th National Veterans Wheelchair Games – the largest annual wheelchair sports event in the world!
