The Great Dinner and Dance Halloween costume part and fundriser October 22, 2011

What an amazing feeling it is when you know that you helped someone who truly needs assistance and would not have been able to afford it. To know that it is because of your help, someone’s life got a little bit easier and safer. That was the goal and vision of Joey Harper, a boy with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, who 6 years ago created The Wheeled Scotsman’s Foundation to do just that….to help people with mobility issues who... cannot afford to make their homes safe because certain accommodations like ramps, pull bars in the bathroom, wheelchair accessible showers, etc. are usually not covered by insurance. Sadly, Joey passed away in January of 2010, yet his vision and legacy lives on in the people whose lives he has impacted as well as his family and friends who continue to run The Wheeled Scotsman.

It is with renewed vigor and urgency that we push forward and try to help as many people as we can. To date, The Wheeled Scotsman Foundation has been able to help more than 10 families make their homes safer. We send out our contractors, pay for all permits, and complete all work at absolutely no cost to the family or individual. Although we wish we could help everyone on our waiting list, we are limited by funds. Currently, 100% of the money raised through fundraisers is spent to help others and this is where we need your help.

On October 22, 2011,. we will hold our 6th Annual Dinner & Dancing Event and Silent Auction at Ann’s Choice in Warminster, PA. It is a great night with wonderful food, friends, live music by the one and only house band The Crush , dancing, and fundraising in a beautiful venue! This is a very high profile and publicized event in our community. We need your help because we are in need of either sponsorships or contributions for our silent auction. We feel this auction is a win-win for everyone involved. We will gain financial help for the foundation, you will gain greater visibility within our community, and ultimately, someone’s life could change for the better! Your contribution will be greatly appreciated! In addition to the great feeling of knowing you have helped someone else in need, with your permission, we would like to thank you by posting your business’ name on our website, Facebook page, and on the “Thank You” banner at the Dinner & Dancing event.

There are many ways to help and if you decide to help us, please feel free to call 215-957-9981 with any questions or concerns. tickets will be $30.00 per sale and $35.00 at the door
Sincerely,
Friends and Family of The Wheeled Scotsman Foundation
