Wheelchair Foundation is proud to recognize the incredible fundraising efforts of the Rotary Club of Sanibel-Captiva, whose commitment to mobility and dignity continues to make a life-changing difference around the world.
At their 6th annual “Wheels for Wheels” fundraiser held on April 5th on Sanibel Island, the Rotary Club raised an impressive $28,000—enough to send another container of wheelchairs to those in need, likely destined for communities in Ecuador or Belize. To mark this milestone, a special recognition plaque was presented by District 6960 Wheelchair Foundation Co-Chairs, Gary Dworkin and Jim Fabry, to the Club President and the dedicated “Wheels for Wheels” committee.
This event is part of an ongoing partnership between Wheelchair Foundation and the Sanibel-Captiva Rotary Club. Over the past five years, their “Wheels for Wheels” initiative has raised over $140,000, resulting in the delivery of more than 1,400 wheelchairs to individuals across the Caribbean, Central, and South America.
Their generosity is more than a number—it’s a testament to the power of community action, and a shining example of what can be accomplished when people come together for a cause greater than themselves.
We’re incredibly grateful for the continued support of the Rotary Club of Sanibel-Captiva and look forward to the lives they’ll help transform next.
