Help us help other people get wheelchairs. Whether it's your business looking for a charity, the kids class at school, or if you're just looking for something to do with your family, fundraising can be fun and very rewarding. With your help we can raise enough money to give everyone on our waiting list a new chair.
Below we have listed our Top 10 fundraising ideas for 2007-2008. If you have any other great ideas please let us know.

- Bike-a-Thon: Get pledges for the number of laps you can make around a local park or course set up in your school's parking lot.
