Quantum Rehab announced the return of its Q Roll Model Contest for 2023.
"We’re searching for two awesome, diverse and relatable wheelchair users from across the country to join our passionate team of brand ambassadors," Quantum said in a release.
Winners of the Q Roll Model contest will receive a three-month paid Q Roll Model contract and a Quantum power wheelchair with iLevel technology, with full service included at no extra cost.
"Quantum Rehab’s commitment to the disability community goes beyond designing and producing innovative power wheelchairs that allow us to live our best lives,” said Stephanie Woodward, Quantum Rehab’s brand ambassador coordinator. “We know that there is no one type of wheelchair user, and we’re dedicated to creating wheelchairs that are as unique as the people who sit in them every day. That is what makes this contest so exciting—we're able to bring on new team members to represent Quantum Rehab and whose lived experience as wheelchair users can help us to continuously move the bar forward for power wheelchair technology.”
The contest is open to legal residents of the United States who are at least 18 years of age and children 10 and older with parent/guardian consent. It runs from Wednesday, June 14 to Sunday, August 13 and is the third iteration of the competition. Some winners of the previous two contests remain Quantum advocates to this day, including Izzie Bullock of Belleville, Michigan, Jill Moore of Minneapolis, Minnesota and Merlisha Henderson of Scottsdale, Arizona.
“Winning the Q Roll Model contest in 2019 positively impacted my life by helping me become proud of my disability,” Bullock said. “Before the contest, I barely ever posted photos where my wheelchair was visible. After I started posting about my wheelchair, I saw that there were other people who related to my experiences and that I was not alone.”
“Winning the Q Roll Model contest two years ago impacted my quality of life so much more than I could have ever imagined,” Moore said. “Prior to receiving my chair, I hadn’t had much experience with assistive technology, and it’s been so empowering to experience the difference in my daily life.”
“My life has been transformed since I have been living at iLevel,” Henderson said. “As a mother and wife, I was restricted and limited in the things I used to do before [winning the contest]. After experiencing the iLevel functionality, I found I was able to cook, do laundry and shop independently again.”
