National Theme "Keeping Everyone On the Move"
N.S.C.A.R. will be supporting the OSCAR MIKE Foundation in two ways.
1. N.S.C.A.R. will be raising funds to sponsor the first ever OSCAR MIKE kids’ program where “11 Strong” Kids with physical disabilities will come together and participate in a weeklong clinic filled with adaptive sporting events and leadership workshops.
2. N.S.C.A.R. will also be helping OSCAR MIKE promote awareness of the current rate of veteran suicide problem in America, and their goal of cutting it in half from 22 a day to 11 a day.
This is where the project nickname of “11Strong” comes from. One name - Two missions.
Through this year's National Theme, members are encouraged to get active and stay “On the Move” whether that be in their local societies, community, or by being physically active.

State Project 2021-2022
Joshua dorval, Massachusetts state president
Dr. cyndy morrissette, Senior state president
State Theme:
The 2021-2022 Massachusetts state project is Shelter for Those Who Served. Funds raised for this project will support Veteran’s Inc in Worcester, Mass. I was inspired to do this project by my uncle Pete who is a Vietnam Vet. His story and his homecoming made me think every veteran should be honored for their service and welcomed home. Veteran’s Inc, which is a 501(c)3 nonprofit headquartered in Massachusetts, believes, “They were there when we needed them, so we must be there now that they need us”. This organization provides not only shelter but also the tools, such as addressing health and employment needs, to help Veteran’s transition out of homelessness. We will be selling t-shirts and other items that have yet to be decided, but be on the lookout for ordering information coming soon. We have also decided to have a “Traveling Veteran” that is similar to “#Traveling Harriett”. You can pick either a male or female outline or both. Many of you have already downloaded them from our M.S.C.A.R. Facebook page. Please color them, display them on your travels this year, and post these pictures on our State Facebook page. You will also find all updates about my project on our M.S.C.A.R. Facebook page.
