Grand Prix Driver to Support Wheelchairs 4 Kids

Michael Johnson and his team JDC MotorSports have announced they will support Wheelchairs 4 Kids during the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. 

Johnson will provide the organization with prime advertising space on his helmet during the event weekend to be auctioned off by the organization to the highest bidder who supports Wheelchairs 4 Kids.  

The winning bidder will also have the opportunity to meet Johnson and get paddock pass access to the event.  The winner will also receive two suite passes on the straight away for races on Friday and Saturday.

Wheelchairs 4 Kids' headquarters is located in Tarpon Springs.

“We are so excited that Michael has chosen Wheelchairs 4 Kids as his Charity of Choice for this race.  He is an amazing young man and such an inspiration to our kids.” said Madeline Robinson, Wheelchairs 4 Kids Executive Director “Words cannot begin to express how grateful we are.”

Based in Tarpon, Wheelchairs 4 Kids is a 501(c)(3) organization. Their mission is to improve the lives of children with physical disabilities by providing wheelchairs, home and vehicle modifications as well as other adaptive devices.  

"I think it's great what Wheelchairs 4 Kids is trying to do, so when they reached out to us it was no question that we wanted to do something for them during the St. Petersburg race.  We just needed to come up with a idea how we can promote the organization and help raise funds for them at the same time so I think doing that with auctioning off advertising space on my helmet is a good start." Johnson said.
