Expand the range of our programs, including programs for Veterans with disabilities, and increase access to them throughout our region
Alleviate space constraints in our facility
Meet the increasing costs of adapted technology, which allows us to fit the unique needs of each participant with our innovatively designed equipment
Enable fun and healthy activities for hundreds of children and adults with disabilities in our area
We strive to improve our community where:
70% of people with disabilities have no access to activities that promote health
90% of women with a disability do not have access to recreation or sport
70% of youth with a disability don't take part in any kind of physical activity
People with disabilities are twice as likely to be physically inactive (25% vs. 12%)
Positive Impacts
Playing adaptive sports increases the likelihood of full employment by 40%.
Access to adaptive recreation improves self-esteem and communities benefit when people with disabilities can more fully participate in sports and recreation.

“One very important impact has been connecting and learning from others with disabilities. (Another) thing that has been very important to me is the social aspect and the lifelong friendships with fellow athletes and wonderful volunteers.
