WOW Oregon

Winners-On-Wheels, or WOW, is a scouting type organization for kids ages 4-17 who use a wheelchair part time or full time. The focus of the meetings is on discovering and enhancing the abilities of each individual child.  When a child discovers he/she CAN make a difference, they dare to challenge their limitations and can achieve their dreams.

WOW gives kids who use wheelchairs a place to gather and be part of the majority because everyone at the meetings has a wheelchair. They have true peers who understand the daily challenges of life on wheels as well as the successes. Being a part of a club and making a difference builds self esteem and confidence needed as kids grow into adults.

WOW provides a place where kids who use wheelchairs are part of the Team. They are the Leaders and members. WOW is about Abilities, achievement, friendships, and fun. Come join today!
