Buffalo Wheelchair Basketball

On Oct 3 The Buffalo Wheelchair Basketball Youth League has its first practice - with 5 kids! 6 weeks later and we have grown to 18 athletes participating weekly. Greater Buffalo Adaptive Sports (formerly the Sled Hockey Foundation) is the non-profit who has loaned us 12 Sports Wheelchairs so we could get started. They are also gracious enough to facilitate the purchase of our own chairs.

Our goal is to raise 20,000 to buy 10 chairs! Every donation gets us closer and will go to help this new program that integrates people with physical disabilities and people without disabilities together on the court to learn and play competitive wheelchair basketball.
