Mission: Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts Foundation seeks to give women with physical disabilities in the Commonwealth a forum for the promotion of the achievements as well as the needs of people with disabilities. The non-profit program is staffed and coordinated by volunteers throughout the state dedicated to increasing public awareness so that all its citizens will be able to lead productive and meaningful lives.
Programs: Unlike traditional pageants, the Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts Program is in no way a beauty contest. It is instead a competition to select the most accomplished and articulate spokesperson for the disabled in Massachusetts. The selected representative must be able to
communicate both the needs and the accomplishments of her constituency to the general public, the business community and the legislature. By her example, Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts will showcase the talents, accomplishments and value of people with
disabilities.
