Charity 'Path to Success' has invited companies to participate in a unique wheelchair basketball game alongside Team GB Paralympians. Corporate teams will compete with each other at the Copper Box Arena in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on April 26.
The aim of the event is to raise money for the London Titans, one of the United Kingdom's leading wheelchair basketball teams. Path to Success looks forward to see eight teams of eight to take part. All the participating teams will receive expert coaching from five-time Team GB Paralympian Ann Wild OBE. The money raised by the event will go towards buying sports wheelchairs, court hire, match fees, transport, and coaching for the London Titans, which has produced more than 50 Team GB players, and yet, receives no central sports funding. Each team has to donate a minimum sum of £5,000. Two courts will be run side by side and the event will take place from 9 am to 5 pm. Media personality and former Team GB Paralympian Ade Adepitan MBE, a London Titans coach, will also be in tow.
Path to Success founder Anita Choudhrie said: “Our goal for the day is to create an open and positive environment within which colleagues can experience the competitive nature of wheelchair basketball for the first time. “We are offering a unique experience to get away from the office and create lasting memories, while also raising money for an exceptional cause.”
