Home Long Island Lightning Long Island Express Photo Galleries Calendar of Events Contact Us	The Greater Long Island Wheelchair Athletic Club is a New York State 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, established in 2002, formed to provide competitive athletics for the physically challenged. Our initial endeavor was to form Long Island's first independently supported wheelchair baskbetball team, the Long Island Express. We were granted membership into the Eastern Wheelchair Basketball Conference of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association. In the time since, our goals have become varied and far reaching. Besides wheelchair basketball, our members, both adult and youth participate in many sports for the physically challenged: track and field, racing, tennis, swimming, sledge hockey and skiing. In addition to serving as active role models to the physically challenged, GLIWAC provides increased awareness information about athletics for the physically challenged to the general public. This is accomplished through Awareness Day programs run at local schools, exhibitions with able-bodied participants, seminars and speaking engagements.
