On Tuesday evening November 29th ROMP hosted a festive fundraiser of inspiration, dining and music to raise money for those in need of prosthetic care.
ROMP was founded by David Krupa and Eric Neufeld and their mission is to provide high quality prosthetic care in underserved populations, which enhances mobility and unlocks human potential.
Because 80% of the world’s amputees live in low- income countries, the ROMP event raised funds to provide new and refurbished prosthetic components to facilitate independence to those who suffer from a lack access to rehabilitative technology.
ROMP awarded Melissa Stockwell the Empowerment Through Mobility Award. Melissa is a Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient and former US Army Officer. She is also two-time American Paralympian and Bronze medalist.
The fundraiser was sponsored and held at Fields Range Rover in Northbrook. The local Chicago auto group provided the venue and food and drinks for attendees. The event raised several thousand dollars to support the Range of Motion Project.
