Brasile Sportsmanship Award, a national award honoring Frank Brasile, a former commissioner in the Intercollegiate Division of the wheelchair basketball association.

The program includes instruction opportunities and scrimmage play in friendly competitions against, among others, the US Women’s National Wheelchair Basketball Team as they preparation for their own competitions in August at the Paralympic Games.
The scrimmages, scheduled for April 22-24, will be live-streamed. Look for more details on the NWBA website and its social-media platforms.
