This Week's Program
Ben Huntzinger - Spartan Wheel Chariot
Spartan Wheel Chariots is owned by a paraplegic outdoor fanatic who started by building rugged off-road wheelchairs on the tailgate of his pickup truck. Even the best conventional wheelchairs are not designed for outdoor use.
Founder Ben Huntzinger was determined to fix that.Ben researched the least expensive products that still maintain strong integrity for all day rugged terrain. That way, everyone could afford an off-road ride. He partnered with Spinergy Wheels, the Cadillac of wheels to identify a strong and reliable wheel with the best price per wheel. We believe everybody worldwide needs access to living. Backwoods Wheelchairs is the answer.
In 2019, Ben participated in the Georgia Chamber of Commerce's InVenture Prize Competition. He placed second, and found an incredible community of support for his rugged wheelchairs. Since then, our mission has been to partner with extraordinary people in providing an extraordinary product. We're changing lives, one wheelchair at a time.

Honor Someone Special with a Paul Harris Fellowship
Rotarians have a tradition of supporting the Foundation by honoring others since 1957. The number of Paul Harris Fellows reached the 1 million mark in 2006.
There are few things better than recognizing individuals who are important to us and have made a difference in our lives and careers. Please consider doing that by naming them as a Paul Harris Fellow.
