During 2008 we got in touch with FREE WHEELCHAIR MISSION from USA. Having in mind their idea of "TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH THE GIFT OF MOBILITY”, we started to work in the distribution of wheelchairs in Argentina. We joined CILSA, one of the most important NGO’s of our country. Since 2009 we have delivered more than 10,000 wheelchairs! By every client that contracts a trip with CHAMPION OUTDOOR ADVENTURES, It will donate a wheelchair to CILSA through FREE WHEELCHAIR MISSION. Likewise, if a client donates to FWM directly, he/she will receive a receipt for that transaction.

CILSA is developing a program in Argentina which includes the delivery of approximately four thousand chairs by year.
