The yearly event in Tampa is called “Wheelchairs for Kids and Bail Charity”. It has a judge with children playing the jury who help decide if the “felons” raised enough money for new equipment which meant their “bail money”.

This year, all felons had enough for their “bail”.

The organization not only helps kids with wheelchairs but any other equipment they may need help with better mobility all at no cost to the families.
