April, 2016 — The National Association of American Veterans (NAAV) joined in partnership with MobilityWorks and BraunAbility at a special ceremony to honor a disabled US military Veteran with a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT equipped with a BraunAbility XT conversion. The MobilityWorks Foundation was the major sponsor of this donation.
This exciting event began at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, when members of MobilityWorks arrived at the Johnson residence in Maryland for a ride destined to surprise.
The two organizations, BraunAbility of Winamac, Indiana, and MobilityWorks, worked in conjunction with NAAV as a momentous opportunity to present the Johnsons with a much-needed mobility assisted minivan.
NAAV reached out to representatives from the news media and several local papers, including the VA Public Affairs department, Washington Times, Washington Post, Network Journal, Blacknews.com, the Afro American Newspaper (Baltimore), as well as the Fairfax Times and Inside NOVA (Northern Virginia), and WHUR’s Gospel Spirit. Other distinguished attendees included Keisha D. Turner, Outreach Program Coordinator, SFAC Soldier and Family Assistance Center, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland.
