Paralyzed Veterans of America
2006 Honors Gala

This year Paralyzed Veterans of America (Paralyzed Veterans) marked its 60th anniversary by hosting an awards gala on September 12, 2006 at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. H&A was proud to coordinate this celebratory event, which honored outstanding individuals and corporations who have supported our nation’s vast community of military veterans.

Paralyzed Veterans Honors recipients included former Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta (Honor for Civil Rights), NASCAR legend Richard Petty (Honor for Motorsports), and Senator Bob Dole (Honor for Lifetime Achievement). The gala was attended by members of congress, cabinet secretaries, and corporate and community leaders from around the nation.

H&A planned and executed every aspect of the event, including VIP participation, design and direction of staging and décor, site management, audio visual design and production, sponsorship recruitment, and media relations. The result was a flawlessly produced awards gala that raised awareness of Paralyzed Veterans, and attracted new corporate partnerships and contributors.
