Donation: The act of giving to a cause or fund.
Bridge II Sports functions on gifts and grants. All of our programs are low or no cost to participants. Why? Many people with disabilities have extra medical and maintenance costs not covered by Insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare, thus taking “spendable funds” to maintain health. Bridge II Sports understands those challenges.
Bridge II Sports requires each participant to be involved with the fundraising part of programs. Though its programs, Bridge II Sports teaches commitment and appreciation and thus a spirit of giving back from what has been received. Empowerment is a tool for change. Your donation Bridge II Sports empowers a change that has a ripple effect. The power of one can make a difference.
Austin, an able-bodied 13 year old, decided for his Bar mitzvah project, to raise funds to purchase two sports chairs for Jr. Thunder youth wheelchair basketball team. The cost was $5000. He had been volunteering at Jr. Thunder events and had seen that there were not enough chairs for the 17 athletes. Austin started with a fundraiser at his school that included the basketball team, cheerleaders, and the Jr. Thunder and the Triangle Thunder adult wheelchair basketball teams. The event raised $1200. Then a person who attended the event offered to hold an all day fundraiser at Chick-fil-A. More funds were raised. Then Austin's lacrosse team got involved. A woman from Texas heard about the challenge and donated the remaining funds needed. Austin’s big goal was met and the team gained two new sports chairs! The Power of one is a mighty force! Help start a ripple!
