Funding gives injured veterans access to life-changing adaptive scuba diving program
CHICAGO–(ENEWSPF)–January 17, 2012. Since 2006, the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs (IDVA) has awarded nearly $10 million to help Illinois nonprofits deliver supportive programs to local veterans. One of those organizations is Downers Grove-based Diveheart, which received a $75,000 grant in the fourth-quarter last year (FY 11) to help disabled veterans overcome often debilitating physical barriers through weightlessness afforded by snorkeling and scuba diving.
