NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 10, 2026 / The 2026 National Veterans Wheelchair Games, held July 9-14 in Detroit, Michigan, were more than a showcase of adaptive sports; they were a powerful reminder of camaraderie, inspiration, and service within the Veteran community.
Co-presented annually by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Paralyzed Veterans of America, the Games bring together Veteran athletes from across the country to compete in events ranging from archery and rugby to powerlifting, basketball, table tennis, and field. Behind every competition, however, is a dedicated network of volunteers working to ensure each athlete has the opportunity to perform at their very best.
As a sponsor of the 2026 National Veterans Wheelchair Games, Leidos sent ten Leidos QTC Health Services staff members to Detroit to serve alongside event organizers throughout the week. Whether assisting athletes at competitions, helping events run smoothly, or simply offering encouragement from the sidelines, each volunteer left with far more than they expected. Supporting the Games is more than a volunteer opportunity for Leidos QTC; it is an extension of the company's mission to serve those who have served our nation. As a long-standing partner to the VA, the Games offer a meaningful opportunity to strengthen connections with the Veteran community while giving employees an up-close view of the determination, perseverance and competitive spirit that define the Games.
