NTAF is pleased to announce that it has helped patients raise almost six million dollars in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2006. This amount represents a 55% increase over the $3.8 million that was raised in FY 2005.
"We are constantly amazed at the overwhelming generosity Americans show to their friends, family and neighbors," said Lynne Samson, NTAF Executive Director. "NTAF is pleased to be able to translate that generosity into life-saving assistance to pay for medications, hospital stays, medically-related relocation and transportation expenses, as well as the home and vehicle modifications and home healthcare required by spinal cord injury patients.
NTAF paid more than $4.2 million for patient medical assistance during the same period, another "record" of sorts.
"Fundraising is more critical now than ever before," noted Samson.
