Over $8000. That’s how much Jimmy “Jimbo” Crivolio has single handedly raised this year for the Special Needs Mininstry at Mount Pisgah Methodist Church in John’s Creek and the Titans Wheelchair Sports Program. You just can’t say no to “Jimbo”; he presents an extremely compelling case for his cause! Jimmy will be honored at the 11:00 am service on Sunday, March 5, 2011 for his outstanding efforts on behalf of the ministry. Way to go Jimbo!

Hi!

My name is Jimmy Crivolio and I have recently joined a new wheelchair sports team. We’re called the Titans! Titan Wheelchair Sports was recently formed as part of the Special Needs Ministry at Mount Pisgah Methodist Church in Johns Creek, Georgia. As part of this program, physically challenged young adults like me have the opportunity to come together several times a month for wheelchair sports, fun and fellowship. Since most of my friends are too old to play on the YMCA Mustang’s, my old team, we have not had the opportunity to play these sports we loved as kids. And, while playing wheelchair sports is really fun, the most important benefits of Titan Wheelchair Sports are the social and fellowship opportunities. And the program is growing…we currently have 15 to 20 young adults participating…so we need more special sports wheelchairs to allow others to participate in the program!

As a venue for kicking off our fundraising effort, our group participated in the 23rd Annual Jingle Jog, a 5K run/walk, on Saturday December 11th. We rolled the entire 5K!

We are looking for sponsors for our team, so if you would like to make a donation, please make your check payable to Mount Pisgah Methodist Church (in the bottom left corner of your check, you can note, “For Titan Wheelchair Sports”). 100% of your donation will go to supporting the Titans and their activities. You can mail the check to my house at 230 Slaton Circle Roswell, GA 30075.
