Join officials from the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation
in Lake Worth on October 20 as they award a grant check in the amount of $19,500
to the Endless Possibilities for the Disabled organization, a local group that
provides adapted sports and recreation for persons with physical disabilities in
Palm Beach and Martin Counties. The event will begin at 5:00 p.m. at the CMAA
Therapeutic Recreation Complex located in John
Prince Park at 2728 Lake Worth Road, Lake Worth, FL 33461.
The night will include a speech from Alan T. Brown, the
Director of Public Impact with the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, as
well as Endless Possibilities, and a check presentation and a photo shoot with
athletes from Endless Possibilities, showcasing the six basketball wheelchairs
purchased using grant money awarded to the organization to ensure better
physical and emotional health of those living with physical disabilities.
Endless Possibilities and its nearly 100 members were
recently awarded a grant from the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation to
purchase the basketball wheelchairs, as well as pay for Ice Time for the Sled
Hockey team.
There will be great visual aspects for those who choose to
cover this event, as well as a human interest story that speaks to Palm Beach
County locals, especially those struggling with physical disabilities.
Representatives from the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department will
also be on-hand for interviews.
Endless Possibilities is a non-profit group that provides
social experiences through sports and recreation to improve the quality of life
for persons living with disabilities. Their sports include boccia, goalball,
handcycling, power soccer, sitting volleyball, sled hockey, wheelchair
basketball and wheelchair rugby, and are often played at Palm Beach County’s
Therapeutic Recreation Complex in Lake Worth.
The CMAA Therapeutic Recreation Complex is owned and
