North Hills Rotary Clubs' Golf Outing to Buy Wheelchair for Disabled Vet
The Shaler Area and Northern Allegheny Rotary Clubs' annual golf outing is raising money to purchase a tracked wheelchair to allow a disabled veteran greater mobility and independence. The TracFab tracked wheelchair costs $15,000. With its tracked wheels, it can go on sand, through brush and turn on a dime, which allows its users greater mobility than a regular motorized wheelchair can offer.
