On October 1st, the Memorial Rehabilitation Institute is set to host its 7th Annual Adaptive Sports and Recreation Bowl-A-Thon at Sparez Bowling in Davie. Scheduled from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, this annual event supports the invaluable Memorial Rehab Adaptive Sports and Recreation Program.
The program’s mission is clear and noble: to provide recreational and athletic experiences specifically tailored for individuals with physical disabilities across all age groups.
The previous year’s event witnessed tremendous participation, with over 300 individuals joining and the generous backing of 5 sponsors. Together, they raised an impressive $20,000. Participants can expect to be part of a 7-member team, enjoying two hours of spirited bowling. Registration covers bowling, shoes, pizza, soft drinks, and undoubtedly, memories that will stand the test of time.
The funds accumulated during this event have a significant impact. In the past year, they have supported initiatives such as adaptive water aerobics, chair yoga, scuba diving, wheelchair basketball, and tennis. Furthermore, the funds cater to various needs including access, transportation, entry fees, and sponsorships for the adaptive athletes.
The Memorial Rehabilitation Institute offers a broad array of rehabilitation services including physical & occupational therapies as well as speech therapies. The Institute has been pivotal for patients recovering from conditions like strokes, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and orthopedic injuries.
The Institute operates with a central philosophy of patient and family-centered care. This approach ensures that treatments are not just administered but are crafted in collaboration with patients and their families. Such integration ensures that treatments are tailored to align with the patient’s goals and lifestyle.
The Bowl-A-Thon will be held on October 1st, 2023 from 11:00 am-1:00 pm at Sparez Bowling Lanes located at 5325 S University Dr, Davie, FL 33328. To register or learn more, visit www.memoriarehablbowlathon.com or call 302-373-2955.
