Over the time, London Titans have formed a formidable reputation for themselves as one of the successful and loved wheelchair basketball club. The team till date has produced more than 50+ GB players in its history, but sadly remains one of the clubs that is bereft of any central funding.
But now the team shall receive financial aid from Path to Success. The charity is organising a corporate wheelchair basketball tournament to raise donations for London Titans. The event will be held on 26th of April between 9 AM – 5 PM at Copper Box Arena in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Eight teams of five to six players shall be competing against each other. Team GB Paralympians shall also be a part of this match.
Anita Choudhrie, founder of Path to Success, believes everyone will love wheelchair basketball: “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.”
The teams shall be given extensive training by five-time Team GB Paralympian Ann Wild OBE. Team GB players shall keep the audience mesmerised by showcasing their skills. The game shall be hosted by two courts together and two final teams shall meet in a face off to decide the final champions. A voluntary minimum donation of £5,000 is expected from the participating teams.
The donations would be invested in sports wheelchairs, match fees, court hire and the transport and coaching of London Titans.
Spectators are welcomed!
