    For the 2024-25 NWBA season NEW athletes with a spinal cord injury that have not previously been registered with the NWBA will have their membership dues fully funded at no cost if they register by October 31! The support to cover the cost of these membership dues for this season for those athletes with spinal cord injuries is being provided by a Craig H.
