The goal of this fundraiser is to bring inclusiveness by having able-bodied individuals compete in sports wheelchairs; this will provide an eye-opening experience, highlighting just some of the challenges that their disabled counterparts face day-to-day. All proceeds from the tournament will go to the local United Spinal Metro DC Chapter and then will be reinvested in the disability community for individuals with spinal cord injuries and diseases (SCI/D) providing them with the necessary services and mobility equipment so that they may also lead successful and independent lives.

Parking instructions:

There is a parking lot located right next to the Trinity Center for Women and Girls in Sport aka Trinity Center. There is a security checkpoint when pulling into the lot - please let security know that you are here for the event and they will let you in.
