GsilGSIL’s 11th Annual wheelchair basketball fundraiser, Hoops on Wheels is an all-day basketball tournament where players maneuver the court using wheelchairs – whether they have a disability or not!
Are you ready for some March Madness? It may not be Madison Square Garden or Las Vegas, but you are sure to have a day to remember!
Grab 8+ of your friends, family and/or colleagues to compete in this year’s wheelchair basketball tournament. You choose your league – go for the gold in the competitive bracket or keep it recreational with round robin. Games start at 9:00am with the championship game starting around 4:00pm. Games begin every 35 minutes at NH Technical Institute in Concord, NH. Each team is responsible for fundraising $1000 (~$125/player). All are welcome! Admission is FREE!
*If you have a disability and need transportation to the event or accommodations on site, please contact us at 603-410-6503. *
All proceeds directly support Granite State Independent Living and its programs designed to help people with disabilities and underserved youth live life independently. Thank you for generously supporting GSIL and its mission!
We are excited to offer an opportunity to experience what it is like to navigate life in a wheelchair! Want to test your agility? We have expanded the ways to participate to include Wheels of Glory, a wheelchair race, where you move from point A to point B – give it your best shot, and the person with the best time wins $500! Admission to this challenge is free!

After a recent spinal cord injury resulted in paraplegia, Kevin’s life soon changed. The staff at GSIL worked closely with him through his rehabilitation, offering resources, peer support and mentoring as well as assisting him in networking with his community to set goals. Kevin obtained 2 accessible vehicles, had his own apartment and sat on several different disability related committees. He participated in barrier.
free recreation and peer support groups. With some guidance from GSIL staff, Kevin obtained a hand cycle through Challenge Athletes Foundation. In the fall of 2019, he did the research to find an accessible subsidized apartment. He spoke with his employer about a transfer in jobs to the franchise in the city to which he was moving. He now had a job waiting for him as well!
