CORNWALL “CHAMP” BENEFITS FROM KEY TAG SERVICE NOW IN ITS 70TH YEAR

CORNWANick Bergeron-0582LL, ON, March 7, 2016 – As The War Amps 2016 Key Tags are mailed to Ontario residents, the service marks 70 years of returning lost keys to their owners. Donations to the Key Tag Service assist members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, including Nickolas Bergeron, 13, of Cornwall.

Nickolas was born missing his right hand and, as a “Champ,” is eligible to receive financial assistance for the cost of artificial limbs and devices. He also attends regional CHAMP seminars where Champs and parents learn about the latest in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and bullying and parenting an amputee child.

“I have used different devices that have helped me participate in sports with my friends. I want to thank CHAMP and the public for their donations,” says Nickolas. 

 The War Amps Key Tag Service was launched in 1946 so that returning war amputees could not only work for competitive wages, but also provide a service to Canadians that would generate funds for the Association’s many programs. The Key Tag Service continues to employ amputees and people with disabilities and has returned more than 1.5 million sets of lost keys.

Each key tag has a confidentially coded number. Should the keys be lost, the finder can call the toll-free number on the back of the tag, or deposit them in any mailbox, and the keys will be returned to the owner by bonded courier.

“Thanks to the public’s support of the Key Tag Service, we are able to help young amputees like Nickolas live full and active lives,” says Danita Chisholm, Executive Director of the CHAMP Program.

The War Amps receives no government grants and its programs are possible through public support of the Key Tag and Address Label Service.
