The Center for Disability Rights 2009 Wheel-A-Thon, which takes place Sunday, Sept. 6, 2009, is a fundraising and community awareness campaign to benefit the youth programs and activities of the CDR and its partners.

Last year, the Wheel-A-Thon raised $17,000! On average, teams raised $642 each -- that's almost double the 2007 average of $346 per team! The top team fundraiser was the the Four Wheel Loggers who raised $2,290. All money raised went to support:

* 11 college scholarships for students with disabilities;
* Advocacy with students to improve their education;
* Communication access services for youth with hearing loss involved in peer support programs;
* Facilitation Services for youth groups; and
* CDR youth transition services.
