The Frank Hilton Organization has held its ninth annual Bara Battle fundraiser to support people with disabilities.

CEO Sureri Perera states the event raises money for vital equipment like wheelchairs and meets patients’ individual needs.

“We’ve seen great progress. Some patients who couldn’t move before can now push their own wheelchairs or even walk.”
