The Push America Challenge gives everyone the opportunity to display their human ability by competing in endurance events like Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle while raising funds for people with disabilities.
By taking on your personal challenge through Push America, you selflessly impact this under served population through important grants and innovative programs.
The grants range from purchasing equipment such as hand-cycles, computers or even accessible sail boats, to purchasing and constructing ramps for low income families. Locally, Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle will fund the Todd J. Porterfield Memorial fund.
Todd was a strong supporter of Push America and an active member of the Seattle disability community.
To learn more about the Push America Challenge team or to join, please visit www.pushamerica.org/events/pac or e-mail Tanner Bacon at tbacon@pushamerica.org or call him at 704-504-2400 x155.
