Message from the Executive Director,
Welcome to the February edition of Wheel World News. It's hard to believe January has already come and gone. We have much in store for the SCI community in the up and coming months.
Make sure you are signed up to attend the Push Forward Conference on March 10th! You don't want to miss our biggest event of the year. See page 2 for more information about what topics are going to be covered. We are proud to be the charity sponsored for the February 1st Phoenix Suns game against the Los Angeles Clippers. If you participate in the 50/50 Raffle that night, half of the proceeds will go to us to help expand the activities we sponsor for the SCI community. If you are planning to attend the Waste Management Phoenix Open this month, make sure you take part in the Birdies for Charity Fundraiser, where you can pledge an amount for each birdie that is made, benefitting AZSCIA. Read more about these events and others on pages 4-7. This month, we met Brett Heising, founder of brettapproved.com, a website dedicated to helping you find the best accessible restaurants, hotels, and more. Make sure you check out the article on pages 8-9. On pages 10-11. Discover all of the wonderful amenities of the U of A Disability Resource Center in Tucson. This month in Consumer Corner, we highlighted Nic Danger, founder of The Next Step Peer Mentoring & More, check out his inspiring story on pages 12-13. This newsletter is packed full of great information, we hope you enjoy reading it.
I hope everyone has a great month and we hope to see you out in the community at some of our events!
Sincerely,
Shannon L. Carter
Executive Director
