The Rotary Club of Sanibel-Captiva presented a $28,000 check to District 6960 Wheelchair Foundation Co-Chairs Gary Dworkin and Jim Fabry. It raised the funds during its 6th Annual Howard S. Danner, Jr. Wheels for Wheels Cycling Challenge on April 5. The Wheelchair Foundation is a nonprofit organization leading an international effort to create awareness of the needs and abilities of people with physical disabilities, promote the joy of giving, create global friendship and deliver a wheelchair to every child, teen and adult in the world who needs one, but cannot afford one. Over the past five years, the club’s fundraiser has raised over $140,000, resulting in the delivery of more than 1,400 wheelchairs.
