The team is insured and sponsored by United Cerebral Palsy of Philadelphia & Vicinity. We follow the rules and regulations of the United States Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association (U.S. EWHA).
 
          We believe that competition and challenge are healthy and necessary for all people, regardless of ability.

2009 Philadelphia PowerPlay Beef and Beer Recap

I am proud to say that the first annual Philadelphia PowerPlay Beef and Beer was a huge success. Thanks to all of those who attended, we raised over $4,500. This is money that will go towards tournament expenses, equipment such as sticks and hockey borders, and any other costs related to helping the PowerPlay continue to grow. I would like to thank all of those who donated baskets and silent auction items, and I especially want to thank Monica Hilferty and Joanne Shipman for organizing the whole event. I would also like to thank Jen Shipman, Jane Bunting, and Dan Hilferty for their assistance. I hope that everyone had a great time, and please tell your friends and families that their attendance made the day that much more enjoyable. For future reference, we hope to continue this event on an annual basis. Our next beef and beer will tentatively take place on October 23, 2010.
