The University of New England’s Student Occupational Therapy Association (ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵSOTA) donated proceeds from its 2016 spring gala to a camp dedicated to empowering young people with limb loss.

Each year, ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵSOTA’s annual Spring Gala fundraises for specific causes or organizations in the community related to the profession of occupational therapy. This year the organization chose Camp No Limits, a non-profit providing education, mentorship, and support to children with limb loss and their families.

ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵSOTA donated 100% of the money from ticket sales to the organization. Students and faculty from the Departments of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy raised enough money to send seven children to camp.
