HELP US TACKLE TRAUMA BY MAKING AN ADDITIONAL DONATION (OPTIONAL)!
Tackle Trauma is the premier fundraising event for the Arizona Trauma Association (AzTA) and all registration proceeds will go to support our programs. But registration fees alone are not enough!
There is certainly a reason to run for Trauma, which is the leading cause of death in people age 2-44. This Straight Outta Quarantine Fun Run (presented by Tackle Trauma), is not only a fundraiser but also an education campaign for vaccination acceptance timed to coincide with the increased availability of vaccines for COVID-19. Our Tackle Trauma Run Fun is targeted at educating the community on the public health need for a strong trauma system and will continue on Super Bowl Sunday in 2022.
All funds raised by the Arizona Trauma Association will be used to help develop our educational programs for trauma providers at all levels of the trauma system. Our educational programs provide support for paramedics, nurse, trauma surgeons, and anyone else on the frontline of fighting traumatic injury in Arizona.
We are a 501(c)3 and any straight donations may be fully tax-deductible.
More about us: The AzTA has been at the forefront of helping shape trauma policy in the state since its founding in 2007. Examples include: passage of booster seat legislation for which AzTA won an award from AAA; state health committee testimony regarding text-driving laws; testimony on riding in pickup truck tailgates; advocacy for the state taking on issues with air-medical ambulance; and the state's ongoing requirement of a certificate of need for ground transportation ambulances. Other examples include robust and affordable education programs such as STACS for the AzTA members. AzTA provided additional trauma registrar training as the state changed its coding rules on short notice in 2019-2020. We also offer loaner training equipment to hospitals wanting to put on Stop the Bleed Training Programs. This Spring, we are rolling out the Straight Outta Quarantine Fun Run (presented by Tackle Trauma), which is not only a fundraiser but also an education campaign for vaccination acceptance timed to coincide with the increased availability of vaccines. Our Tackle Trauma Run Fun is targeted at educating the community on the public health need for a strong trauma system and will continue on Super Bowl Sunday in 2022.
