The New England Wheelchair Athletic Association 'HALL of FAME' was established in 1999 to recognize the contributions and accomplishments made by Athletes, Coaches, Program Administrators and other individuals in developing and promoting Sports for people with Disabilities.


Candidates are Inducted each year at a Sports and Hall of Fame Banquet held during the New England Regional Wheelchair Games. We also recognize 'Athletes of the Year' in 4 categories: Adult Male, Adult Female, Junior Male, & Junior Female. The Adult Athlete Awards were renamed in 2003, to the Beata Anderson Award for the Female Athlete, and the Robert Hawkes Award for the Male Athlete, to honor the accomplishments of these 2 Great Pioneers in the field of Wheelchair Athletics. Please take a minute to fill out the Nomination Papers and send them, along with a letter giving as much information as possible about your nominee(s) to: Jim Kempf 27 Ferncrest Ave. Cranston, RI 02095 Wheelchair1515@aol.com
