Lifewaters provides adaptive scuba diving to veterans with disabilities nationwide. The title of this grant is "back to fully operational. Ready, set, go!" as we are now back from the pandemic

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a $248,325 Project Grant on September 30, 2023, to the LS Classic Foundation (doing business as Lone Star Paralysis Foundation), a non-profit organization, under the VA Grants for Adaptive Sports Programs for Disabled Veterans and Disabled Members of the Armed Forces (CFDA 64.034) program. The grant funding allows the foundation to restore and expand its adaptive scuba diving programs for disabled veterans nationwide, which were previously disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through this project grant, the LS Classic Foundation will plan, develop, manage, and implement adaptive scuba diving opportunities to support the rehabilitation, therapeutic health, skills-building, and community reintegration of wounded, ill, and injured U.S. service members and veterans with disabilities. The foundation has received over $1.1 million in VA adaptive sports grants since 2019 to deliver a range of adaptive sports programs across Texas, including activities such as wheelchair basketball, sailing, and archery.
