Outstanding Charity: Highlights from the 33rd National Disabled Day Celebration

Event Overview

The 33rd National Disabled Day, organized by the Jiangsu Province Foundation for Disabled Persons, together with the Jiangsu Province Department of Civil Affairs and supported by Wuxi City TV station, was a remarkable event. This celebration saw the participation of 160 individuals, all deeply engaged in various charity activities. These prominent entities meticulously arranged the ceremony, showcasing their dedication to supporting disabled persons.

Highlight of the Ceremony: Award Presentation

One of the event’s key moments was the award ceremony, which honored entities providing “Outstanding Charity Support to the Disabled.” Among the thirteen organizations recognized, three were notable charity organizations. The Wheelchair Foundation (WCF) was the only international charity organization that has continuously provided support for many years. This accolade aims to inspire more companies and individuals to participate in charity-related activities.

Recognition for Continuous Support

The special award conferred upon the WCF is a testament to its unwavering support and significant contributions. Since the cooperation began in 2018, Wheelchair Foundation, despite numerous challenges, has donated 20,997 wheelchairs and 1,172 assistive devices. Even during the pandemic, the foundation’s commitment did not waver, ensuring continuous aid to those in need.

Encouraging Broader Participation

The recognition of Wheelchair Foundations’ efforts is intended to encourage broader participation from various sectors. By highlighting the foundation’s accomplishments, the organizers hope to motivate other entities to join the cause and support disabled persons. This collective effort is crucial in fostering an inclusive and supportive community.

Conclusion

The 33rd National Disabled Day was more than just a celebration; it was a call to action. Acknowledging organizations like the Wheelchair Foundation underscores the impact of sustained charitable efforts. As we celebrate these achievements, let us also be inspired to contribute and make a difference in the lives of disabled individuals.

Thank you for your participation in our cause and your help in creating a more inclusive world.

One Million Wheelchairs and 15 Year Anniversary

Wheelchair Foundation would like to thank everyone who purchased tickets and participated in our one-millionth wheelchair distribution celebration Wheelchairs Around the World, on Saturday, June 13th at the beautiful Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California.

The event sold out, and those 550 supporters and friends in attendance got treated to a spectacular evening featuring traditional dance from four continents, fine food and wine and truly heartfelt appreciation for the accomplishment of delivering one million wheelchairs to individuals in need of mobility in more than 155 countries around the world.

The audience witnessed an emotional interview with Wheelchair Foundation Founder and CEO, Kenneth E. Behring, in which he recounted the origin of his inspiration to “attempt what had never been done,” and how a simple gift of a wheelchair changed him and led him to a life of purpose.

The highlight of the evening occurred when longtime supporter Mr. Ken Hofmann stood up and pledged one million dollars for wheelchairs for Latin America, to kick start the distribution of our second million wheelchairs. Mr. Hofmann’s generous act prompted others, resulting in nearly $1.7 million in donations from attendees of the event.

Thank you to everyone involved in this joyous evening!
