“We are proud to continue our tradition of supporting veterans with disabilities by sponsoring the 30th National Veterans Wheelchair Games,” said Steve Tough, president, Government Programs for Health Net, Inc. “The games encourage veterans to become aware of their abilities and potential to live an active and fulfilling life while promoting a spirit of healthy activity and fellowship.”
The event is the largest annual wheelchair sports event in the world, attracting more than 500 military veterans who use wheelchairs due to spinal cord injuries, amputations or certain neurological problems. During the five-day multi-event sports and rehabilitation program, veterans compete in games such as swimming, table tennis, archery, bowling, basketball, power soccer, wheelchair slalom and quad rugby.
Health Net is sponsoring the National Veterans Wheelchair Games for the fifth time as part of its ongoing commitment to serving veterans and programs that improve their quality of life. Health Net pledges through its Community Giving Program to support events and organizations that help active duty service members, Reserve Component members, retirees, veterans, survivors and military families achieve a fit and healthy life; and honors their service and sacrifice to our nation.
