Anita Choudhrie’s charity Path to Success has urged companies to participate in a corporate event where teams will play wheelchair basketball in a tournament against Team GB Paralympians at AN Olympic venue. Wheelchair basketball has found a lot of takers in recent times, because of the game’s health benefits as well as social development capabilities.
The event will be held at the Copper Box Arena in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on Tuesday, April 26th. A fundraiser, the money raised would be used in the development of UK’s renowned wheelchair basketball teams, the London Titans.
Eight teams would be allowed to participate and a minimum of six teams would compete. The game’s physically demanding nature and action packed execution provides the participants to better their communication, sharpen their leadership roles and help them perform better in a team.
Anita Choudhrie, founder of Path to Success, put out her vision for this tournament at a media event: “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.”
To assure that the competition is stiff, teams will be coached by Ann Wild (OBE), a five-time Team GB Paralympian. Wild’s staff will be completed by Ade Adepitan MBE, a former Team GB Paralympian who is also a media personality and the current coach of London Titans. Team GB players would also flaunt their game skills at the event.
The games would be played from 9 to 5 and on two courts side by side, where the final two teams will face off for the champion’s title. Every team would be making a donation of a minimum of £5,000 or above which will be used for buying sports wheelchairs, match fees, court hire and the transport and coaching of the London Titans. This would immensely benefit the team, which has been void of any central sports funding even when it has produced more than 50 Team GB Players in its history.
Teams looking to join in can please contact Nasim.malhotra@pathtosuccess.org.uk.
