Help Scouts with Disabilities
Tax deductible
Martin, a scout with Troop 799, and myself, a BSA Scout Volunteer, are raising funds to purchase an all terrain wheelchair allowing scouts and scouters access to the outdoor programming scouting has to offer.
As a Scouter, an active scout leader with numerous physical disabilities, I have had great difficulty accessing many of our scout camps or camping trips. Many of our fellow leaders and older scouts have assisted me in addition to other mobility devices.
It is our hope to raise enough funds to purchase a chair so that scouts with any mobility limitation, leaders and families can join in all of our Scouting adventures.
As it is, many are sidelined with physical, visible and invisible disabilities. It is our hope that this is the first step to increasing inclusion for those with mobility challenges in the scouting community.
We will be working with Far West Wheelchair Athletic Association, a non-profit, 501 (c)3 program to help raise funds for the purchase of this chair. They will than make the chair or HOPEFULLY Chairs available to our local scouting council for use by scouts, scout leaders and their families. It will be housed at our local Cheseborough Scout Reservation.
All of our youth deserve the chance to experience the great out doors and all the adventures that lie within.
We Thank you in Advance for generosity. Please note, for all those with corporate donation matching, this is fundraiser is in conjunction with a qualifying non-profit organization.
Thank you.
Yours in Scouting,
Martin and Deborah Vick
