The 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 the 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.
