1xBet Partners with W.C.I.A. to Support Para-Athletes with Wheelchair Donations

1xBet and W.C.I.A. Join Forces for Para-Athletes

The global betting firm 1xBet, in collaboration with the Wheelchair Cricket India Association (W.C.I.A.), has generously donated 20 sports wheelchairs to support disabled athletes engaged in wheelchair cricket.

These para-athletes participate in 6 to 8 tournaments annually but have previously lacked access to advanced wheelchairs due to their prohibitive costs. This initiative will provide them with essential equipment to enhance their performance and foster their development.

1xBet selected W.C.I.A. for this initiative due to the foundation's commitment to promoting sports and ensuring equal opportunities for all, which resonates with the company's core values.

The Wheelchair Cricket India Association is the leading organization in the country dedicated to fostering and providing a platform for aspiring wheelchair-bound athletes who wish to play cricket, from grassroots to elite levels. W.C.I.A. is credited with forming the first Indian Wheelchair Cricket Team.

A representative from the foundation stated, “This support from 1xBet is not merely about providing equipment; it acknowledges the dedication of para-athletes who demonstrate daily that limitations are often self-imposed.” Indian wheelchair cricketers actively participate in international tournaments, showcasing their talents on a global scale.

For 1xBet, supporting not only renowned athletes but also those who strive to achieve their dreams despite challenges is crucial.

Irina Kapoor, Head of Marketing, emphasized, “We aim to make sports accessible to everyone, irrespective of their circumstances. Sports cultivate character and inspire, and we must back those who persist in their pursuits.”

The donated sports wheelchairs will feature the 1xBet logo, symbolizing the company's commitment to advancing inclusive sports in India.

1xBet intends to continue its charitable efforts and will initiate a series of media campaigns to enhance awareness about sports accessibility and highlight stories of individuals overcoming obstacles. Stay tuned to the company's social media for updates.
