Why We're Raising Money

Jim Lewis plays on the Grand Rapids Thunder Wheelchair Rugby team. He loves to play, but is currently using a wheelchair that is far too small for his 6'8" frame.

This is painful, unsafe, and prevents him from reaching his full potential in the sport.

Michigan-based Strength Training And Recovery (STAR) has graciously offered to cover half the cost of a new chair, so the prospect of getting into one that fits is closer than ever. But we still have work to do.

Our goal is to raise $2,000 to pay for the wheelchair. Donations from friends, family, and business associates will help us reach this goal.

You can donate in one of the following ways:

  • Make an online donation (PayPal account required--sign up takes just a couple of minutes!):



  • Write a tax-deductible check made payable to B.C. Bears with “Jim Lewis” in the memo area and mail to:

Jim Lewis
900 Capital Ave. NE
Battle Creek, MI 49017

Any support you can provide, even just a few dollars, will make a big difference and help us reach our goal.

Thank you!
