The Sword Swallowers Association International is a non-profit organization
that relies heavily on the donations of its members and the public at large.
In addition to general administration and maintenance of the SSAI websites, databases, historical research, and bookings,
SSAI also supports "Esophageal Cancer Research" and the
"Injured Sword Swallowers' Relief Fund". There are on average from
4 to 6 serious sword swallowing injuries per year that require hospitalization,
with costs of treatment running from $50,000 to $75,000 USD per injury.
Any donations submitted will be sent directly to SSAI members who are struggling to pay off
staggering medical bills that are the result of sword swallowing injuries.
If you would like to make a donation, you can do so by cash, check,
money order or credit card. Any amount is gratefully accepted, no matter the size.
Please specify where your donation should be applied:
SSAI General Fund (website, administration, research)
Esophageal Cancer Research
Injured Sword Swallowers' Relief Fund
