As of October 31, 2024, 73 Councils have donated $170,431 for 1,136 wheelchairs. Thank you and God bless you. At this time last fraternal year the donations were at $141,784 for 945 wheelchairs. Shown below are the Totals by Diocese and the Top 5 Texas Councils.

The State goal is to exceed the jurisdiction record of $1,239,052 for 8,260 wheelchairs raised last fraternal year.

The goal for District Deputies is to have all their Councils participate in the Wheelchair Program by donating at least $150 for one wheelchair and have at least one of their Councils hold a Wheelchair Sunday.

Helping one person might not change the whole world, but it could change the world for one person.

Please mail checks and donation forms to Dan Moberg, American Wheelchair Mission, 500 W. Main St., Suite #C804, Alhambra, CA 91801.Also, please be sure your Council Number and Diocese are on your checks so that your donation will be properly credited. Please go to amwheelchair.org/donate for online donations.
