Getting "On-the-Move" is a proven life-saver
That is our "WHY"
Post 9/11, there are over 4.2 Million military Veterans that have served our nation.
1,700,000 (41%) have a disability as a result of their service, including psychological wounds, with 22 veterans commiting suicide every day.
(*data from va.gov and U.S. BLS)
A majority of the American public has little awareness of the sacrifice and ongoing suffering of our Veterans.
Most of our injured, ill and disabled Veterans do not know how to find or cannot afford the required help they need.
A WORLD WITHOUT BARRIERS
A “clear path” for people living with disabilities. If we can accomplish a fraction of what we want to, the world will be a better place for so many deserving people.
By Building New Adaptive Facilities
To support more people and raise the bar for accessibility
By Producing Game-Changing Adaptive Content
Creating an arsenal of content to help the disabled community learn to adapt everything and increase awareness
By Expanding Adaptive Programs
Our goals are to have the resources and facilities to never have to tell someone we can't support them and to grow our variety of programs
ESTABLISHED: Veterans Day 11/11/11
SERVING: The most at-risk segment of the veteran population
PROVIDED: Over 6,000 adaptive opportunities
PROUDEST OF: Zero suicides of any Oscar Mike Veterans
David VS Goliath
When a group of injured veterans started Oscar Mike in a garage, without any resources, they had a simple goal of helping some of their peers.
They had no idea that were starting a movement that would be changing and saving so many lives.
Some of things we do make our insurance agents sweat, but we don’t think being blind means you can’t drive an off-road vehicle off of jumps.
We do things differently and that is why we are so effective.

Quadriplegic Marine Corps Veteran, Noah Currier
"After war, losing people I loved dearly, and being paralyzed, I became extremely depressed and addicted to drugs and alcohol. I believed that my life was no longer worth living.
A friend talked me into trying an adaptive sport before I called it quits. Feeling fear, adrenaline, and excitement again it was like I had been handed a key that unlocked a door to a future worth living. Now I want to share that key with all my peers to keep their lives Oscar Mike."
