The executive director of the Center for Disability Rights said Tuesday the nonprofit raises “thousands of dollars” for scholarships each September at its annual Wheel-A-Thon.
Marc Anthony Gallucci said proceeds from the event held along the shoreline “is real money to be used to pursue the (mission) of the center.”
Gallucci addressed the nonprofit’s 26th annual meeting. More than 60 people attended the dinner at Savin Rock Conference Center.
“We really want to increase participation in the Wheel-A-Thon this year,” Gallucci said. It will be the ninth annual event.
