Throughout the year, WCI presents a number of events, from the acclaimed Madison Square Garden basketball invitational, featuring former pro-players running the court with friends of WCI, to smaller events.

Wheelchair Charities, Inc. (WCI) was founded in 1973 by Henry "Hank" Carter after his friend Al "Tjader" Fogle, was paralyzed from the chest down as a result of being caught in the crossfire of a shoot-out in Queens, NY.
