He is passionate about spreading the word to other veterans about SAWs ramps, encouraging them to apply for a ramp or discover purpose by volunteering to help build ramps. Bob’s dedication showcases the lasting impact of your generosity, highlighting the strength of unity and shared goals. Together, we can achieve more than just constructing ramps – we can create pathways to brighter futures.

As veterans ourselves—Rik Hagarty, SAWs founder and Vietnam veteran, alongside Laura Belko, SAWs Marketing Director and proud Navy veteran—we deeply understand the importance of supporting fellow veterans and their families. It is both an honor and a privilege to stand in solidarity with those who have selflessly served our country.

In addition to our incredible community of supporters, we are thrilled to announce that Rehab Medical is partnering with SAWs to sponsor the 4000th ramp and our celebratory event.

Whether you choose to volunteer your time or donate to SAWs, your support can help us continue making a difference in the lives of individuals and families across our community.
