Abilities Unlimited of the Carolinas, Inc, (AUCarolinas), a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was formed in June 2005 by three
fathers of physically disabled children in the greater Charlotte, NC
area. The mission of AUCarolinas is to create, develop and energize
the human spirit for those individuals with physical disabilities
through adaptive activities and enhancements in their able-bodied
environment. AUCarolinas is the primary sponsor for two programs for
physically disabled youth that compete regionally and nationally in
wheelchair basketball and wheelchair track, field and swimming. Our three Charlotte Rollin Bobcats Wheelchair Basketball Teams have been registered in forty-one regional and national tournaments over the last four years and compiled an overall record of 97 wins and 31 losses. The Carolina Cruisers Wheelchair Track & Field, Archery and Weightlifting Team have competed throughout the Southeast each of the last four years and finished their respective seasons at the National Championships in Tampa, FL-2006, Spokane, WA-2007, Piscataway, NJ-2008 and St. Louis, MO-2009. We have also improved
equipment (walkers) used by disabled members of our community,
provided ramps to enhance the accessibility of physically disabled
individuals homes and provided emergency financial assistance to a
family with a disabled child who lost their belongings in an
apartment fire. Our program currently provides services to over 45 individuals in North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia. See our end of season
