Freedom's Dream is not a business. It is a operated by Hand in Hand Outdoors a non-profit charity set up to support disabled children and veterans with therapeutic fishing opportunities. There is no exclusivity deal between them and the VA, in fact the VA has never dealt with them directly. Freedom's Dream has supported our event enthusiastically ever since they moved their base of operations from Utah Lake to Strawberry a few years ago.
As I stated in the April thread the issue we have is with the new management team for Recreation Therapy at the SLC VA. They have changed the therapy model and philosophy from supporting group events for the veterans they treat to only supporting individual activities.
We need to bring pressure to bear from outside and within to help them understand the positive impact our event has for the veterans. Most importantly we need the veterans (customers) of the SLC VA to demand they support our event again.
