Individuals with disabilities are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and weight gain, and proceeds from Gridiron Gaming will be applied to a wellness and exercise program to enable these individuals to improve their fitness and health. Your generosity will help to establish an accessible wellness and fitness center that will include the latest equipment for people with disabilities.
