Caring for our Disabled Veterans and Wounded Warriors, Through Sports Rehab!

Monterey Bay Veterans Inc., “ Sports Rehabilitation Center ” is a non-profit organization. Our mission is to provide Wounded Warriors, Disabled Veterans and the physically challenged, a diversion therapy program with a special emphasis on marine activities.

Our program includes sports fishing, scuba diving, boating safety courses, and marine envrionmental education. We also provide a special service for veteran families: a spreading of ashes at sea with honors.

Monterey Bay Veterans, Inc. hosts two nationally recognized sports fishing events annually. The Wheelchair Salmon Fishing Derby and the Wheelchair Rock Cod Fishing Derby not only brings fun and excitement to our deserved Disabled Veterans, but adds a level of competition to our diversion therapy program. We have been hosting these major events for over 25 years! Participants come from all areas of the state and country. They are invited to the Monterey Peninsula and are able to go out for a day of fishing and fun, and afterward participate in a ceremony and dinner that recognizes those who participated, as well as those who made the event possible.

Another service we provide is "the physically challenged assistance program" which is designed to make outdoor recreational venues wheelchair accessible. We offer these services at: Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway, Monterey Jazz Festival, The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, California International Air Show, Spirit West Coast, The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and First Tee Open Gold Tournament. Our program provides transportation in and around these venues, as well as to parking lots. Monterey Bay Veterans, Inc. provides special wheelchair accessible carts, shuttles, and vans that are capable of transporting wheelchairs and several passengers. In addition, we have the ability to customize and provide assistance to the physically challenged for any outdoor recreational venues.

We would like to extend our most heartfelt thanks to the men and women in uniform and to all Veterans who have served our Nation.

We Salute you!
