IRVINE, CA, USA, October 4, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Free Wheelchair Mission, a nonprofit based in Irvine, California, hosted its 20th annual Miracle of Mobility events throughout September. The Orange County event was held in person at Turnip Rose in Costa Mesa, California, on September 29. Other in-person regional events were hosted in Boise, Idaho, on September 8 and Seattle, Washington, on September 23. The virtual event, Miracle of Mobility Live, was streamed on September 17.

In total, $2.0 million was raised, breaking the fundraising record across all prior Miracle of Mobility events over the past 20 years. The funds will enable the organization to distribute 20,858 wheelchairs worldwide to those living with disabilities in developing countries.

“We are grateful for the overwhelming support of all who participated in our special 20th-anniversary edition of Miracle of Mobility,” said Free Wheelchair Mission CEO Nuka Solomon. “Because of our amazing sponsors, donors, supporters, volunteers, partners, and staff, many will soon receive the life-transforming gift of mobility.”

The Orange County event included a musical performance from America’s Got Talent Golden Buzzer winners, the Voices of Hope Children’s Choir. It also included fun activities for guests, including a photo booth, silent auction, wheelchair container auction, and a silent disco dance floor. Boise’s and Seattle’s events also featured musical performances and guest speakers.

The virtual event included exclusive performances by hit musical artists We Are Messengers and Courtnie Ramirez. All events featured inspiring stories from wheelchair recipients from around the world.
