Fostering Connections in O&P

OPGA is dedicated to actively participating in seminars, conferences, and events to foster connections, networking, and learning alongside fellow O&P professionals. Over the past few weeks, OPGA has been on a whirlwind tour, engaging with professionals from coast to coast. 

CAF Triathlon Challenge 

Oct. 21-23, 2023, OPGA joined forces with Össur and 2023 grant recipients Kaleigh Neely and Abbey Senczyszyn at the 30th Annual Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) Triathlon Challenge in California. President Adam Miller of OPGA was moved by the profound impact CAF has on its athletes and relished the opportunity to offer support. 

To date, CAF has raised an impressive $159M, fulfilling over 44,000 grant requests for individuals with physical disabilities in all 50 states and across 70 countries, spanning 104+ different sports. Learn more about the invaluable work of this organization here.
