TEMPLE TERRACE, FL--(Marketwire - May 23, 2012) - On Friday, May 11, 2012, seven employees at the Fairfield Inn & Suites North Tampa, a hotel near USF Tampa, hit the bulls eye on their target of giving back when they volunteered to organize the archery competition for the 32^nd annual Dixie Wheelchair Athletic Association (DWAA) Games.

Held in Tampa, FL, near this family-friendly Tampa hotel, the games are hosted annually by the DWAA, who has been providing competitive and recreational sports opportunities to athletes with visual and physical disabilities for more than 30 years.
