From everyone at Sports PT and all the lives this will help change - thank you.

The Sports PT team at the administrtive office in East Syracuse turned a local fundraiser into a friendly competition among co-workers.  The employees were divided into three teams and held a contest to see which team could collect the most donations for a local food pantry community on the east side of Syracuse.  Thannks to the generous and competitive nature of the teams the mission was accomplished.  Bags containing complete Thanksgiving day dinners were distributed to 200 families in need.

This team is no stranger to "giving." Members of our downstate Sports PT family were severley impacted by Hurricane Sandy.  We all continue to reach out and support one another so in the end we are all winners!

This is Dan's fourth medical missions’ trip to serve and treat the people of Haiti. For Hope International is a non-profit organization which works very closely with Haitian medical professionals and students, both educating them through practice and empowering them to better treat their own people in need.

We asked Dan to descirbe what this expericnece has menat to him. "It is a great opportunity working so closely with American and Haitian medical students and physicians, each one of us realizing how much we stand to benefit from learning just a little more about what each other does.  Each experience has been extremely different and rewarding in its own way, giving me a whole new perspective on the patients and people with whom I work every day. If there is one thing someone reading this could take away, it would be that there is always hope for rebuilding, even when the mainstream news gives an update on progress that is less than promising."
