MobilityWorks Donates Use of Mobility Vans for 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival

Current and former professional football players and fans of all ages will descend on Canton Ohio this weekend to join thousands of others in honoring the 2010 inductees to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Among the many football stars of past decades are those who have lost their mobility or can only walk a very short distance. So when the Hall of Fame contacted MobilityWorks once again to provide the use of its handicap vans to assist with transporting these former stars, they were more than happy to oblige. "We're big football fans at MobilityWorks and these guys are true legends. It's an honor to be part of the ceremonies every year " said Brian Austin, MobilityWorks General Manager. The wheelchair accessible minivans will be used to transport Hall of Fame dignitaries in wheelchairs (or that use mobility scooters) to and from the airport, hotels and to dozens of various weekend festivities. Experienced volunteer drivers and the vans are scheduled through the Hall of Fame committee assigned to provide transportation.

Hall of Fame Official Vehicle
Accessible minivans being provided to the Hall of Fame Festival have automated ramps and wheelchair tie-downs for securing passengers. This is a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan.

Headquartered in Akron 20 miles north of the Hall of Fame, MobilityWorks has donated its vans for the enshrinement festival since 2003. Their Akron-Cleveland showroom has dozens of new and pre-owned accessible vans for sale along with other adaptive equipment that helps people be more independent. MobilityWorks also provides wheelchair vans for rent to the public with daily and weekly rates.

Being inducted into the Hall of Fame this year is Russ Grimm, Rickey Jackson, Dick LeBeau, Floyd Little, John Randle, Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith. The Class of 2010 Enshrinement will be held on Saturday, August 7, at 7 PM at Fawcett Stadium next to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A sellout crowd is expected to attend the Annual Hall of Fame Game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, August 8th at 8:00 PM
