Each year, the O&P PAC organizes fundraising events for members of Congress who have been supportive of O&P. For each event AOPA members make a personal contribution to the member’s campaign and spend time with the member talking about a variety of issues including health care and the provision of O&P. These events are a unique way to share O&P concerns, get to know a member of Congress and get a congressional update, and have been very successful in getting Congress to understand O&P concerns. Also, each year the O&P PAC sponsors events which allow AOPA members to learn more about the activities of the PAC , and provides them with the opportunity to get involved. Those individuals who have donated directly to a candidate’s fundraiser or to an O&P PAC sponsored event are valuable supporters in achieving the legislative goals of AOPA and the O&P PAC.
