For Kids - About the Cause

1st Annual Wheelchair Grand Prix
October 7, 8 & 9, 2005

Imagine you're racing in the Tour de France or Indy 500. The wind is rushing past as you gain speed and move toward the finish line...you bask in the glory as your fans cheer you on. Wait...even better...imagine you're racing in rustic Pennsylvania and pushing a wheelchair up hills and down scenic valleys. This time you're part of the Variety Young Professionals special team and your fans are the children and families who will greatly benefit from your accomplishments. Now stop imagining!

Be a part of the Wheelchair Grand Prix and GO THE DISTANCE FOR KIDS!

On October 7, 8, and 9, 2005, team members will make history by taking turns pushing wheelchairs from Moraine State Park to Presque Isle…approximately 100 miles! This unique, first-ever event will raise money for Variety the Children's Charity and increase awareness for Variety's special programs for very special children.

We're looking for teams of approximately 10 members. Groups with less than 10 members and individuals are also welcome to participate. If you would like, we will help you find a team. If you can't be a part of a team, join us as a volunteer and/or sponsor.
