Our Journey...
While the Kirkwood High School Class of 2018 walked across the stage at Chafitz Arena, Lance Waigand was a few blocks away fighting for his life at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Daunted by the worst case scenarios, all his family could think about was Lance's future. On May 14th, Lance was released from the hospital. Days later he graduated in a small administrative room surrounded by cheering friends, family, and neighbors. As his family looked at the crowd of loved ones, they understood how significant Lance was to his community members.
In 2018, Waigand Wheels was founded to provide meaningful and productive work for individuals with developmental disabilities. Recognizing the gap in opportunities that exist for these hardworking individuals, the Waigand family created a program that allows its participants to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment while serving their community with a sincere service and powerful mission.
We strive to produce opportunities for individuals of all abilities to have a role in the communities in which they live. Waigand Wheels' emphasis on community engagement provides a platform for the world to see their tenacity and commitment.
