VA National Sports Programs and Special Events
The Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) National Rehabilitation Special Events promote the healing of body and spirit. They motivate eligible Veterans to reach their full potential, improve their independence, achieve a healthier lifestyle and enjoy a higher quality of life. Each year, VA presents six national events for U.S. military Veterans served by VA medical facilities nationwide. Each program enhances the physical, social and emotional well-being of the Veterans who participate. Veterans involved in these events, and hundreds of VA employees and volunteers who support them each year, all share a strong sense of purpose and camaraderie.
