MINNESOTA VIKINGS SUPPORT ROLL WITH IT

In the Spring of 2004, Roll With It Director, Heidi Schwichtenberg, had a chance to meet Vikings Head Coach, Mike Tice, for the first time while she was officiating his son's basketball game.  She decided to take the opportunity to see if Tice would be interested in attending Roll With It's Wheelchair Basketball Exhibition at St. John's University as a special guest.   Unfortunately, he said he had an NFL coaching conference and could not attend.  

About a month later, Heidi received an unexpected call from Brad Madson, Vikings Community Relations Director.   Tice had asked Brad to call and inform Heidi that the Minnesota Vikings would like to donate $5,000 to Roll With It and present the check at a wheelchair basketball game in which Tice would participate.

On July 21, 2004, the Vikings presented the check and Tice jumped into a chair and played wheelchair hoops with the youth wheelchair athletes in attendance.  It was a great and memorable event.

The Minnesota Vikings have also been gracious enough to give a number of VIP passes at training camp to Roll With It.   For the past two years, several Minnesota wheelchair athletes have made the trip down to Mankato and watched the Vikings players practice.  Tice always took the time to come over and greet the wheelchair athletes.  He brought several players with him to sign autographs and take pictures.  The kids loved it!!!

Special thanks goes out to the Minnesota Vikings and Mike Tice.  Your time and generosity left a lasting impression on so many families in the Roll With It community.  The Vikings donation was a key factor in establishing the St. Cloud Cyclones, a wheelchair sports program developed in the fall of 2004.

Roll With It would like to thank Blake Schaper and Marco Business Products for helping make the Viking Training Camp event a success.  Your continued support is greatly appreciated!
