The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) is in the middle of a matching fund-raising campaign among ICPA members to raise money for NVIC in response to the ongoing censorship of NVIC’s information online and our sudden loss of a longtime major benefactor. Chiropractors who are ICPA members can mark their donations “NVIC” and make the donation via the ICPA member account page at: https://icpa4kids.com/donate/
ICPA Executive Director Justin Ohm, DC, urged his fellow chiropractors to make a donation to NVIC:
“NVIC needs our support now more than ever…throughout the month of July, ICPA will be matching any donation we received marked ‘NVIC.’ Please considering donating now to maximize your contribution. ICPA and NVIC have a long-standing history of standing up for informed health care choices. Let’s step up now and show our support for everything NVIC does to protect parents’ right to choose what is best for their children.”
ICPA conducted a matching fund-raising campaign for NVIC among its members during NVIC’s 40th Anniversary fund raising effort in 2022 and raised $25,000 in donations.
ICPA: A Distinguished History
ICPA’s founder the late Larry Webster, DC, who specialized in chiropractic care tailored to pregnant women, infants and children, was instrumental in introducing NVIC to the chiropractic community in the early 1990’s and promoted support our work to prevent vaccine injuries and deaths and protect the legal right for parents to make voluntary vaccine decisions for their children. After Dr. Webster’s untimely death in 1997, Dr. Ohm’s mother, Jeanne Ohm, DC became Executive Director/CEO of ICPA in 2002 for 17 years and continued Dr. Webster’s legacy of supporting NVIC work until her unexpected death in 2019. NVIC presented Jeanne Ohm with NVIC’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020 during the Fifth International Public Conference on Vaccination: Protecting Health and Autonomy in the 21st Century.
“We are deeply grateful to ICPA members caring for children and mothers for their steadfast support of NVIC’s mission since 1993, said NVIC co-founder and president Barbara Loe Fisher. “I will always remember the pivotal role that principled doctors of chiropractic have played in enabling NVIC to have the resources to continue our work as we defend truth and freedom in the 21st century.”
