Join our elementary school for children with disabilities in our "Wheelin'-n'-Walkin' Challenge" to raise funds for special programming and equipment. Staff members developed the concept of the Wheelin'-n'-Walkin' Challenge as a way for staff, consumers and their families to help raise funds for their programs. Each participant in the program secures sponsors and on the day of the event, everyone does one lap around their designated walking course. Those with wheelchairs, walkers and gait trainers are assisted by family members, volunteers or staff.

This event is not only about raising money, but also about educating members of the public about individuals with disabilities. We would love to have you join us to walk on the day of the event, as well as to help us meet our monetary goal to provide hippotherapy to our students!
