March
3, 2006 - Las Vegas, NV - Individuals who require the use
of a mobility scooter for everyday life will soon have an
opportunity to receive a scooter at no cost through the Clarence
Vincent Foundation (CVF). Named after the father of Scootaround's
CEO, Lee Meagher, the foundation donates mobility scooters
to qualified applicants who apply through one of the foundation's
partnering organizations.
"We
are very proud to carry on my father's legacy and to serve
the disabled community in such a tangible way", says
Meagher. "Scootaround was founded as a result of my father's
needs and it's only fitting that we provide this life-enhancing
service through a foundation that bears his name."
A
select number of organizations have partnered with the CVF
for the initial foundation launch with more to be added during
the year. Current partners include the Multiple
Sclerosis Foundation, National
Stroke Association, The
Society for Accessible Travel and Hospitality (SATH) and
The United Spinal Association.
Partners are responsible for receiving and processing applications
for their respective memberships.
