WFTW Trackchair Project - 2nd Chair Delivered!

Do we know what the plans are for the event? I think the hope was that this year‘s event would get rescheduled but it’s probably safe to assume that it’s canceled. Are we optimistic that main event will happen in 2021? I would certainly try to attend

Nothing has been decided yet.

Update:

We are now at $2,547 :clap:

That's about a quarter of the way to the next chair.

Way to go, Idaho! Guys and gals, this labor of love of ours is a big deal. Let's continue to support those who truly need a trackchair.

We really need to step up. With main event 4 months away, I figure we need to have the total buttoned up up end of March. I will have more WFTW stuff to list next month

I just updated the sidebar with the latest total from the WFTW: $2,997 :clap:

It's been a while since we've had an update. Big shout out to Goldilocks who bought the Jeep bar in the KSAs. He paid considerable more than the final bid! :clap:

The total right now is $3,637! We're well on our way to the third trackchair. :thumbup:

There have been several auctions and donations since the last update. The total is now $5,222!

Another quick update. I talked to Melanie at Carlson Mobility. She has two candidates who are working to get a chair. One of them is very deserving and has been trying for a long time. They have a few refurbished chairs right now that would cost between $9-10k to get outfitted for either of these candidates. We're past half-way there. I asked her to check if there were any other groups that could help out with a few bucks. She is checking on this.

If anyone here is willing to help, please put something in the KSAs next week. Most of us have some odd or end piece that could help raise a few bucks. Every little bit helps. I'll be listing another WFTW Jeep bar that will ship directly from YPS.

Let's do this!

Terry B, our last recipient of a trackchair posted this on facebook a few days ago.

:clap:

Sorry I have not been posting like I need to. My track chair was used in this clean up event. Was also used Thursday on a quail, Chukar, and pheasant hunt. I still to this day can not come up with the words to say Thank You to everyone involved in getting me back out and living life again!

This makes my heart smile.

It is great to learn that we are making a difference in the lives of people.

With Christmas approaching, I hope y'all will remember the ongoing effort to get another chair.

I just updated the sidebar with the current total: $6,508.55

We're 2/3 of the way to the next chair!

I also want to mention that Terry B, the last recipient, takes his chair to events and lets other soldiers use it. How cool is that?
