- Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) Charity serves the Fort Worth community by raising funds to provide financial assistance to those who cannot afford to pay for their medical services. Since 2004, PMR Charity’s primary fundraiser has been an annual golf tournament that has allowed the nonprofit to contribute to patients with varying medical needs – from stroke victims to amputees – whose mounting medical bills were causing a tremendous strain on their quality of life and on their families. Sadly, PMR Charity has more demand than it has resources, especially given the economic downturn. While the organization continues to grow, so does the need for financial support.
