As of the summer of 2019, 2L Race Services through the Gettysburg North-South Marathon, the Gettysburg Blue-Gray Half Marathon, and the Gateway 5K has donated over $67,000 to local, regional, and national non-profit organizations from the proceeds of this event.
ABOUT THE PARALYZED VETERANS OF AMERICA
“For more than 67 years, Paralyzed Veterans of America has been on a mission to change lives and build brighter futures for our seriously injured heroes – to empower these brave men and women with what they need to achieve the things they fought for: freedom and independence. Paralyzed Veterans of America delivers services to members, veterans, and disabled Americans FREE of charge. Whether it’s fighting for quality health care and decent benefits for all who served, providing opportunities to get back into life through adaptive sports, helping veterans with disabilities get good jobs and careers, advancing a barrier-free America, educating clinicians about spinal cord injury/dysfunction, or investing in a cure for paralysis, Paralyzed Veterans leads the way in empowering people with disabilities with everything they need to live full and productive lives.”
