Currently, our team lacks the funds necessary to support such an endeavor! Many of our athletes are veterans from all branches of the service who are hoping to take part in this years event and are turning to the community for their support . All funds raised will go towards travel expenses , fees and equipment. Most importantly, donations will allow our adaptive athletes to compete in this annual tournament!

Tennis Is For Everyone
Want to join us in making a difference? We hope that you will consider attending or donating to our “Tennis Is for Everyone” fundraiser on Sunday, October 20th. This event, organized by Ridgewood High School Varsity Tennis players, will raise awareness and funds for wheelchair sports.

All proceeds from this event will benefit the Wheelchair Sports Federation, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Adaptive Sports Athletes and Teams with equipment, instruction, and playing opportunities. Equipment, such as athletic wheelchairs that can easily pivot and turn, is costly and often out of reach of many disabled individuals.

Adaptive Sports Athletes are an inspiration for all. Participation in sports helps them to overcome their tough challenges and enriches their lives in so many ways -- with exercise, competitive spirit, strong friendships and a passion for life. We hope to share our love of the game of tennis by providing playing opportunities to deserving individuals.

Thank you for your generosity. We hope to see at the event!

Andrew Swanson and Alana Kerner, Event Co-Chairs

Help WSF Sled Hockey Team

The Wheelchair Sport Federation Sled Hockey Team sponsored by the NY Rangers is a part of the 501(c)(3), tax deductible, non-profit organization Wheelchair Sports Federation. The team is comprised of people with various disabilities, who love to play the sport of ice hockey and will not let their limitations stop them.

The WSF NY Rangers Sled Hockey Team is in need of your support for the upcoming 2013-14 season. Funding will pay for the Northeast Sled Hockey League dues, tournament fees, equipment, and travel (Pittsburgh, PA; Philadelphia, PA; Exeter, NH; Marlborough, MA).

Last year, the WSF NY Rangers Sled Hockey Team played in USA Hockey's NHL Sled Classic, a tournament that is open for sled hockey teams with NHL affiliation. With great honor, the WSF NY Rangers Sled Hockey Team represented the NY Rangers NHL organization in that competition. The team also represented the NY Rangers organization in the Open A division at the 9th Annual USA National Disabled Hockey Festival in Philadelphia, PA.

A break down of the expected costs for 2013-14:
- NESHL dues and tournament entrance fees: $3,550
- Travel costs (estimate): $8,250
- Replacement sticks, sleds, parts: $1,000
Total Costs for 2013-14 Season: $12,800

The WSF NY Rangers Sled Hockey Team also participates in charitable outreach programs, partnering with the MSG Garden of Dreams for 'Dream Week', introducing inner city youth to hockey for the first time. Members of the team also mentor and coach the NY Junior Rangers Sled Hockey Team, teaching and empowering kids with disabilities to play the sport they love.

We thank you in advance for your support. Your donation helps us defer the high costs of competing, which is especially important for athletes with disabilities.
