Wheelchair Cavaliers

presented by Cleveland Clinic

Established in 1992, the Wheelchair Cavaliers partner with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Cleveland Clinic to compete on a national level as part of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association. Off the court, the Wheelchair Cavaliers mission is to make a difference in the community by helping educate and provide opportunities to children and newly injured adults with disabilities by building awareness. This mission is accomplished through various outreach efforts in the community including halftime appearances, speaking at schools/community organizations, performing demonstrations, competing at the highest level and continuing to bring championships to the Cavaliers organization and the people of Greater Cleveland. The program also includes a Jr. Wheelchair Cavaliers team in partnership with the Achievement Centers for Children.

Every week during the season, the Cavs take part in “Health Essentials,” a social media feature in partnership with Cleveland Clinic that showcases important topics related to health and wellness.
