On the occasion of BraunAbility's recognition of Toyota's Mark Oldenburg for service to the wheelchair accessible community, it was announced that the Toyota Sienna has risen to the top of the sales chart for wheelchair accessible vehicle sales in America, a first for Toyota in this category.

This sales milestone was revealed in conjunction with this year’s recipient of the Ralph W. Braun Spirit of Ability award, which honors individuals who make a notable difference in the lives of people with physical disabilities, often despite overwhelming odds. The award is named for the late BraunAbility founder, Ralph W. Braun, who had muscular dystrophy but did not let that prevent him from inventing the first motorized scooter, wheelchair lift, and shaping a company that today is the worldwide leader of mobility equipment.
