Quinn is in the 10th grade. The principal of his old elementary school invited him to speak to the entire student body - over 500 students (32 classes). The students especially liked it when Quinn had his younger brother demonstrate the difference between crawling on the ground and moving around in the wheelchair. Quinn announced (with the Principals approval) that each class that raises enough for one wheelchair gets an extra recess.  Several of Quinn’s past teachers came up after the assembly and gave him a hug and said how proud they were of him and his efforts to help others. 

Quinn did presentations at the local Lions Club and Kiwanis Club. One gentlemen raised his hand and immediately said…"I’ll donate two chairs." The Board Members of these two clubs will meet this week to decide on a donation amount.

Quinn also organized a car wash and had his entire troop help (about 15 boys, plus a few girls and adults.) In four hours they raised $1,200! One father of three small boys said, “Our family collects and recycles and we spend this extra money on movie tickets and ice cream. We talked as a family and want to donate our next recycle money to Quinn’s Eagle Scout Project.” That is how powerfully our mission moves people to action.

Last time we looked he had collected just over $15,000!

Quinn plans to travel to India with family and friends, and this group together will witness the magnificent transformation of raising people up from the ground and into their very own wheelchairs! 

We are proud of you, Quinn!
