Along with the money raised from participants, the PossAbilities program was given a donation of $300,000 from the San Manuel Tribe of Mission Indians. Outgoing tribal chairman James Ramos called the donation the first installment of a three-year commitment the tribe was making to PossAbilities.
The PossAbilities program is based in the Loma Linda University Medical Center's East Campus. It's goal is to help physically and mentally challenged people stay active and participate in athletic activities.
