Not exactly your typical walk/run fundraiser - the Wheelchair Grand Prix showcases runners and walkers pushing wheelchairs over a Pittsburgh North Shore relay course. It is a unique, fun event that raises awareness for Variety the Children’s Charity programs, specifically the Kids on the Go! program.

Please join the Variety Young Professionals in supporting Variety the Children’s Charity as a wheeler or volunteer for our 6th Annual Wheelchair Grand Prix on Saturday, September 11, 2010 from 8:30 - 11:00 a.m.

We are also currently looking for corporate partnerships for sponsorships and teams for the upcoming Wheelchair Grand Prix. For more information on sponsorships please visit our site @ http://www.wheelchairgrandprix.com/ and click on the Sponsorship link on the top right corner of the page.

In the way of corporate teams, we are also looking to recruit teams of about 4-5 people to walk, run, or volunteer at the event. Previous corporate partners include: Bombardier Transportation, Pwc, Highmark, Starbucks, The University of Pittsburgh, Robert Morris University, GNC, Kennywood, and Comcast.

We hope to see you there.

Feel free to contact me directly with any questions.
