The young people in Re-Creation are not paid for their service. They give up at least a year of their lives to travel the country entertaining the men and women in our VA Medical Centers. Arriving at the VA facilities four hours before show time...they set up...change into costumes...and visit hospital rooms and wards. Then they assist patients to the show area, perform for them, return them to their rooms, pack up and load equipment, and drive on, averaging 300 miles a day...
Re-Creation assumed full responsibility for the national VA program in 1983. Re-Creation now presents more than 320 shows a year. Half of those shows are staged at fairs, banquets, conventions, schools, churches… which, in turn, fund the other half…more than 150 shows annually in VA Medical Centers and State Veterans Homes in all 50 states!
