USABA Welcomes General Dynamics Information Technology to Family of Sponsors
 
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The United States Association of Blind Athletes
(USABA) today announced a sponsorship agreement with General Dynamics
Information Technology in support of USABA's Mission Vision program.
Mission Vision is designed specifically to accelerate the rate of
rehabilitation of Veterans and active duty service members who are blind and
visually impaired through recreational and competitive sport, physical
activity and the promotion of employment opportunities.
 
"The USABA plays a vital role in the lives of injured soldiers who have
sacrificed their vision in the line of duty, helping them bridge the gap
from rehabilitation to employment," said Luanne Houck, program vice
president of General Dynamics Information Technology's Military Health
Services Group.  "USABA's 'Mission Vision' program is one which we are
honored to support, to assist and accelerate the rehabilitation of visually
impaired veterans and active duty Service members."
 
"General Dynamics Information Technology is a leader in delivering IT
services and solutions to the U.S. military and U.S. government and USABA is
proud to partner with them in delivering the Mission Vision program," said
Mark Lucas, executive director of USABA.  "Their support will allow us to
serve more Veterans and service members who are blind and visually
impaired." 
 
The sponsorship from General Dynamics Information Technology will allow
USABA to support clinics, camps and on-going recreation programs at Blind
Rehabilitation Centers.
