Memorial Wall Tiles
Paralyzed Veterans of America - Wisconsin Chapter is installing a donor recognition/memorial wall at the Milwaukee SCI Center in honor of those Wisconsin veterans who served their country. Funds generated by the tile donations will be used to support the Milwaukee SCI Center for non-VA equipment and activities. The money raised is used to help pay for non-traditional therapy for veterans with spinal cord injury or disease.
