What We Are About
Established in March 2001, the
Foundation was formed by Dana Bowman. A bilateral amputee since 1994, Dana
wishes to share in the many blessings he has received since his accident and
recovery. In 2005 Dana Bowman and John Siciliano joined forces to strengthen the
foundation.
He has enlisted other
individuals and companies to share in the vision of giving
back to those in need.
The Bowman Siciliano Limb Bank Foundation, previously known as the Dana Bowman
Limb Bank Foundation, acts as a ready resource for artificial limbs
for those in need. It is a non-profit organization seeking to fulfill the need
for artificial limbs in underdeveloped nations and here in the United States
where traditional funding is unavailable.
Three-Fold Mission
-
Collect and
distribute all forms of prosthetic limbs to those in need. We will collaborate
at times with other foundations to assist in other countries outside the U.S.
(such as Physicians for Peace), and prosthetic labs across the U.S.
-
Fly disabled
children and adults by helicopter and/or plane to accommodate travel for
medical care. To also provide helicopter flights to uplift spirits and promote
the foundation to the surrounding community.
3. Raise
funds to provide transportation, lodging and prosthetic limbs and services to
those in need.
Carrying Out The Mission
- The founder, Dana Bowman, will provide his services as a speaker and
parachutist to raise funds and provide helicopter services for the disabled.
- Prosthetic Labs, such as Hanger Orthopedic, will donate limbs for the
foundation as well as discounted services for those in need.
- Dynamic Internet Web Page will report updated stories concerning the
activities of the Foundation. The home page will include the mission of the
Foundation; the other pages will contain contacts and board member
information, and how to get involved to donate money and/or prosthetic limbs
and services.
