The Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts Organization
This 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization seeks to give women with disabilities a forum to promote their achievements as well as an opportunity to voice the needs of those with mobility impairments. It is in no way a beauty contest; rather, it is an annual competion to select the most accomplished and articulate spokesperson for people with disabilities in the Commonwealth. By her example, the winner will showcase the talents, abilities and value of disabled women. She will work to inspire others with disabilities while advocating on their behalf to the business, political, and non-disabled community.
Show your Support - Donate to the Ms. Wheelchair Massachuetts Organization
In order to ensure successful continuation of the program, the Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts Organization needs your financial support. We are actively seeking corporate sponsors, as well as donations from individuals and groups. Contributions are tax-deductible, and will be used to establish a successful state program that will lead to strong representation each year in the national competition. All donations can be made out and mailed to Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts at the address above. Every sponsor and donor will be highlighted on my blog. Thank you in advance...
