The Wheel-A-Thon is a fundraising and community awareness campaign to benefit the youth programs and activities of the CDR and its partners.

Registration and pizza is from 6 to 6:45 p.m. The ceremony starts at 6:45 and ends about 7:10 when the walk begins. Awards to walkers will be distributed from 7:45-8 p.m. There will be live entertainment throughout.

Wheel-A-Thon participants can walk, roll in a wheelchair or ride a bicycle along a 1-mile route. You can register and participate as an individual or you can form a team with your family, friends and co-workers.

The money raised during the 2016 Wheel-A-Thon went toward seven scholarships, two summer Self-Empowerment Camps and advocacy with students to improve their education.
