Wheelchair Basketball – Round of 16 Draw
A message from Greg at CMH Foton Pintetown
The SBS Tanks Wheelchair Challenge began in 2021 when SBS Tanks CEO, Delayne Gray, accepted a challenge from The Little Eden Society to spend a full day in a wheelchair. After 14 hours navigating everyday life on wheels, the experience sparked a deeper understanding of mobility challenges – and inspired something much bigger.
What started as a personal challenge has grown into an annual fund raising event, with a friendly wheelchair basketball tournament, that brings together families, friends, schools, businesses, and the wider community to raise awareness, build empathy, and create real impact.
A major highlight of the event is the Wheelchair Basketball Tournament, where teams compete in an exciting 5v5 showdown – full of energy, teamwork, and fun. Visitors are also welcome to join us for a fun-filled day of food, entertainment, and community spirit.
Our dreams have grown from what we’ve achieved in the past, and our goals for 2026 include:
Step into a wheelchair for the day and experience the world from a completely different perspective. It’s a powerful way to build empathy, raise awareness, and contribute to meaningful change - all while helping raise funds that support lives.
Enter a team of 5 players for R10,000 and take part in an exciting wheelchair basketball tournament. It’s a fun, high-energy way to build team spirit, connect with others, and support a great cause while making a real impact.
Whether you’re taking part or showing support, every contribution counts. Donations go towards wheelchair donations and upliftment initiatives - helping turn awareness into real impact.
Embarking on a mission for a greater cause, this challenge continues to grow year after year. With your support, we can go even further – helping fund wheelchair donations and uplift lives through the Made for More Foundation.
