Elon University Wheelchair Basketball Tournament

November 6, 2006 - Elon University Wheelchair Basketball Tournament

Elon University and Josh Cranfill hosted a wheelchair basketball tournament, where the players were able bodied and they used manual chairs. Most of the teams were made of people from Elon Fraternities and Sororities, and even a group of Professors had a team. Each team had to pay $15 and they got t-shirts and a dinner. The event was called Skillz on Wheelz and Josh and his group organized everything. Josh was the main recruiter and went out and got sponsors from the community. In total the event raised $7,000. Jonathan and Josh went to the class before the event and talked about the NCEWHA and the Carolina Fury to let them really see what their money was going to. Jonathan gave a little speech to all the fans and the teams on the night of the event. A special thanks to Josh and his hard work on this project.
