For Groups and Teams
This May, invite your friends, family, coworkers, church, sports teams, training partners, or other groups to form a team and Move for Mobility!
Run, walk, hike, roll, swim, jump, bike, or do any activity you choose, anywhere, for any distance, while raising funds to provide wheelchairs for people with disabilities in developing countries.
We encourage groups of any size to create a team page, help us spread the word about the need for mobility worldwide, and provide the solution through fundraising for wheelchairs. This includes schools, churches, businesses, sports teams, running/Spartan groups, and more!
The Move for Mobility is fully customizable. You can form a team and organize a group hike or a walkathon around your office, church, or school. You can group cycle outdoors or do your miles on stationary bikes. You can join a 5K and walk or run as a team. It’s all up to you! Complete your distance all at once or over a period of a few weeks.
When you register, your team will receive Move for Mobility athletic T-shirts, wristbands, and access to a fundraising toolkit.*
Our staff is happy to help you customize an event that fits your group needs. Please contact development@freewheelchairmission.org for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to participate virtually?
It means you can do whatever activity you love to do, wherever you are, all for a great cause!
With the Move for Mobility, you can walk or run in your backyard, on a treadmill, or at a 5K. You can walk around your neighborhood or hike a local trail. You can bike out in the open air or get your miles in on a stationary bike. Swim laps, do jumping jacks... It's all up to you!
Does it cost anything to register?
No! It is free to sign up for the Move for Mobility. Our hope is that you will be inspired to fundraise or donate to help at least one person receive a new wheelchair. Each $96 donation will change someone’s life forever!
What does registration include?
When you sign up for Move for Mobility on our Classy platform, it automatically creates an online fundraising page for you to share on your social media and text to family and friends by generating a dedicated link.
Once registration is complete, you can customize your fundraising page through the manage icon, located at the top right of your fundraising page. It is important to set a goal and tell your story which will inspire everyone who visits your page to support your efforts. Don’t forget to add a photo of yourself or your team in your new Move for Mobility gear!
When we receive your registration, Free Wheelchair Mission will mail you a Move for Mobility t-shirt and wristband. Our shirts are made of fast dry sports fabric and come in sizes for youth, men, and women.*
Do the miles need to be completed at one time?
You can complete your miles all at once or over a period of a few weeks. It's all up to you!
How can I combine my fundraising efforts with a race or activity I am already registered for?
Once you have signed up to participate for free on our website, you can select any race or activity of your choosing, then use your online fundraising link to tell your family and friends that you have decided to make your miles matter by funding wheelchairs, with their help.
Our resources are free, so you can feel confident about sharing the need for mobility with your network—all while doing something you love to do!
