Award Prosthetics Charitable Community Support
Community involvement is always an active part of our vision. We believe that great things can be accomplished when we, as a company, is actively involved with the community.
Our founder, CEO and certified prosthetist. Tony van der Waarde, is as passionate about his company as his vision for future prosthetic care. With annual donations to several post-secondary institutions in Canada as well as worldwide organizations, Tony has devoted much of his time coaching many graduate students who are interested in pursuing the prosthetic and orthotic fields.
Besides actively involved with the our “future potential prosthetists”, Tony has contributed his countless hours of his services and donated prosthetic devices to many world disaster victims like the major earthquake in the Sichun Province of China. Tony has also assisted with funding for our Canadian Paralympian, Michelle Salt to represent Canada in both Olympic and World Games.
