2021 VBWG Update

B UCKEYE B ANNER P AGE 6

This year’s Buckeye Wheelchair Games were a little different than in the past. With the COVID-19 restrictions in place, we here in the office had to get creative with our annual BWG.

Thanks to the help of modern technology, our board members, and wonderful sponsors, we were able to offer a virtual event unlike any other! With nearly 50 participants, the Virtual Buckeye Wheelchair Games went off without a hitch!

With familiar events such as air rifle and bowling, and new events such as brain games and frisbee throw, the Virtual Buckeye Wheelchair Games brought a new twist to our beloved event. Every athlete who registered received a box of supplies needed to participate in the games--including a BPVA frisbee, ropeless jump rope, and a BPVA water bottle!

BPVA offered four different time slots for athletes to complete their air rifle event in person. Athletes could shoot in Parma, Columbus, and Cincinnati at local armories alongside other participants and BPVA's board/staff. The other events (such as bowling) were to be completed in the athletes' free time. We loved seeing our members participating in the various events!

Check out our social media (as well as our updated YouTube Channel) for all the videos and photo coverage of our 10-day Virtual Event. Take a peek at some event photos on this page!

Thank you again to all our sponsors of this year’s 2021 VBWG!
