The 2011 SEAAD Regional Basketball Tournament was held from March 3rd to the 5th, 2011 in Orlando Florida. Gracias VRS, one of our sister companies, was there to witness the 65th Annual Men’s and 21st Annual Women’s Regional Basketball Tournament. During the event, Gracias VRS Deaf Representatives had the opportunity to engage with the participants at the event.

Gracias VRS believes that the Deaf Community should have the right to choose which piece of equipment they prefer to make a Video Relay call which is why we say “Your Equipment, Our Service”. During the tournament our Deaf Reps showed each person that came to our booth how to download and install the App that best suited their mobile device so that they were able to make VRS calls and point-to-point calls anywhere they go. Now more than ever, Gracias VRS is always with you!
