The Polish Paralympic Committee (Polish: Polski Komitet Paralimpijski, official acronym PKPar) is the National Paralympic Committee representing Poland.[1]
The committee has existed since 1998.[2] The initiators of the establishment of PKPar were the Polish Disabled Sports Association (Polish: Polski Związek Sportu Niepełnosprawnych, "Start"), the Polish Social and Sports Association (Polish: Polskie Towarzystwo Społeczno-Sportowe, "Sprawni Razem") and the Disabled Health Protection Foundation (Polish: Fundacja Ochrony Zdrowia Inwalidów). PKPar is a member of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the European Paralympic Committee (EPC). The basic goals of the committee are promoting the idea of Paralympism, co-organizing the Paralympic movement in Poland and securing the formal participation of Polish athletes in the Paralympic Games.
