Hooping It Up for Disability Awareness
     
    NBA material they are not. But the rehab staff at Fairlawn Rehabilitation Hospital did their best to compete in a recent wheelchair basketball game against the Bay State Wheelers, a Central Massachusetts team comprised of individuals with disabilities.
     
    Trailing 22 to 4 at the half, Fairlawn readily agreed to switch scores with their opponents. But when the final buzzer sounded, the Wheelers still came out on top, 26 to 24.
     
    Along with raising community awareness about the abilities of people with disabilities, the event raised more than $700 for the Wheelers.
