Preparations are underway for the Capitol Christmas Tree tour across America, and one Amramp franchise is ramping up for a big role in this year’s upcoming tour. Every year since 1970, a different U.S. state has been chosen to provide the Capitol Christmas Tree that will be placed on the Western lawn of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., to be decorated in shining lights for all to see during the holidays.
Organizers of Memorial Day services – this year on Monday, May 30 – need to review their plans to be certain all venues are wheelchair accessible. This is especially important as the number of older Veterans swells.
Just as certain as daffodils, the dawn of spring begins the charity walk and run season.
Graduation is a time when event planners who don’t generally think about wheelchair ramps must put them on their agendas. Graduation ceremonies aren’t always held in buildings that are wheelchair accessible. With improved weather across much of the country, outdoor graduations are generally the norm. Schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions are required to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act, making wheelchair ramp rentals an ideal solution.
Now backed by both the U.S. Tennis Association and the International Tennis Federation, this is a big year for wheelchair tennis. The sport was originated 35 years ago by Brad Parks, who was paralyzed in a skiing accident. He decided to try tennis, and now the sport is gaining popularity nationally and internationally.
Founded in 1998 by Julian Gordon, Amramp has continued to grow as the leading provider of modular wheelchair ramps, stairlifts, grab bars, vertical platform lifts and other accessibility solutions.
