Wheelchairs Wheely Good Time Annual Benefit Photos by J David Wright

How do you thank people for helping us change lives? Words cannot express how much we appreciate you being part of our Wheely Good Time presented by Orthopedic Specialists on Saturday night. It was amazing! Almost every item was won - many for more than their actual value which speaks to the commitment our supporters have toward our mission. It is humbling!

We raised almost $37,000.00! That is a lot of kids getting the equipment and modifications they so desperately need! Thank you! We've started taking kids off of the waitlist and have even started ordering equipment! WOOT WOOT!

Wheelchairs 4 Kids is dedicated to improving the lives of children with physical disabilities by providing wheelchairs, home and vehicle modifications as well as other assistive devices. Many children living with physical disabilities are in wheelchairs that are too small, in disrepair, or do not fit the needs of the child.

We hope you enjoyed the mobile bidding, were astounded by Ted Brodene and his magic and touched by OUR families. They are the true champions in this story.

Thank you to all of our volunteers, sponsors, donors and board members who put it all together. Special thanks to you, our guests, who took the time out of your busy schedules to help us change lives!

Please take a moment and visit our website at www.Wheelchairs4Kids.org. Check out our "Meet the Kids" page. We'll be updating it shortly with the children that we are helping with funds from the event. Also, please become a fan of our Facebook page. You'll find updates on the kids and what we are planning next.
