Charity launches wheelchair basketball challenge at Olympic Park

Path to Success is looking for companies to take part in a unique team-building challenge - playing wheelchair basketball alongside Team GB Paralympians at an iconic Olympics venue.

Corporate teams will take each other on at the tournament, which is being staged at the Copper Box Arena in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on Tuesday April 26th by the charity, Path to Success, to raise money for the London Titans, one of the UK's leading wheelchair basketball teams.

Path to Success is looking for eight teams of eight - or a minimum of six team members - to take part.

Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson will be attending the event and teams will receive expert coaching from five-time Team GB Paralympian Ann Wild OBE. Current Team GB players will be taking to the court to show off their skills alongside the teams.

The money raised by the event will go towards buying sports wheelchairs, court hire, match fees, transport and coaching for the London Titans, which has produced more than 50 Team GB players in its history but receives no central sports funding.

To take part, each team is being asked for a minimum donation of £5,000. Two courts will be running side by side and the event will take place from 9am -5pm, climaxing with the final to find the day's corporate champions.

To enter the tournament, contact Nasim Malhotra.
