Our coach Melanie Brionez responded to an invitation by the United States Women’s National Wheelchair Basketball team to help out with some scrimmages at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. We were glad to oblige and had a great time while doing so.

We played several games against the US Women’s team over 2 different weekends. It was a great experience for the team and our New Mexico program. We are honored to help however possible and look forward to helping in the future when either the women or mens team needs us.


 

Update:

USA women and men both take Gold in the Parapan Am games!

Help Dominique get a wheelchair

d-give-forwardUpdate: We are happy to let everyone know that all of your support has helped us raise enough money to purchase a new custom fit wheelchair for Dominique. He has put the chair on order and we’ll post a picture once it arrives. Thanks everyone!


On October 18, 2013, one of our teammate’s, Dominique “D” Rogers, had his everyday wheelchair stolen from Southeast Albuquerque. This chair was built specifically for him. Without this chair he has no way to get around independently. The wheelchair is essentially his legs. We can’t imagine who would do something so terrible. We are raising money to help cover the cost of a new chair and could use everyone’s support. Any amount helps!

We’ve set up a GiveForward page to try to raise money. Follow this link if you can help contribute:
