Saturday, July 10th, 2010, was the first annual Wasatch Wheelchair Rally held at beautiful Liberty Park in Salt Lake City. This event was organized to raise funds for Camp Kostopulos' year-round adaptive recreation programs and activities for more than one thousand youth and adults with physical and mental disabilities.
Petersen Medical not only had the opportunity to participate as a sponsor for this great event, but also sent volunteers to answer mobility questions and inspect wheelchairs for spectators and race participants.
We even provided free water!
It was great to participate in the support of such a great cause. Several employees brought their children to help. What a great way to promote acceptance and understanding for people with special needs.
Jeff Griffin from the Neuorworx Wheelin' Jazz gave a great talk about TEAM — Together Everyone Achieves More.
It wasn't all work and no play. The National Guard provided a climbing wall for the kids. Face painting and snow cones topped off the fun.
The kids were in no hurry to leave the event!
The day was beautiful, the park was serene, and for a short time, we all came together as a TEAM.
