Sports 4 All came up with an ingenious way to raise money. They are asking for your used wine corks. They are gathering corks from local restaurants, individuals and now retailers, sorting them, and then they sell them to artists all over the country and beyond. "There is an artist in California who has a large standing order we can't fill at the moment", Sara Koppelman, Program Manager told me recently. Sports 4 All raises money and solicits sporting equipment and provides equipment and recreational opportunities for disabled persons of all ages.
