For many years, the Medical University of South Carolina's third year doctor of physical therapy students have hosted a wheelchair basketball event to raise money for the local non-profit, Adaptive Expeditions. This year, the MUSC DPT class of 2026 will be hosting Shots With A Spin on June 6th, 2025 at the newly renovated North Charleston Sports Complex.

This wheelchair basketball tournament is in support of Adaptive Expeditions (AE). AE is an interactive educational nonprofit using sport and recreation to offer health & wellness programs to individuals with physical and sensory disabilities. Through education and outdoor recreation adventures, AE empowers individuals with both technical skills and personal confidence to maintain active, independent lifestyles. AE also aims to build communities where outdoor adventure seekers and Paralympic hopefuls can share ideas and common experiences, have fun, push limits, and redefine what is possible.
