This scholarship fund makes it possible for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) to show up — to play on a team, try a new activity, build friendships, and feel a true sense of belonging in their community alongside friends.
Thanks to generous donors like you, access has grown every single year. What began as modest support has turned into meaningful opportunity:
In 2022, scholarships opened the door to participation
By 2024, support more than quadrupled
In 2025, over $11,000 ensured that financial barriers didn’t stand in the way
Because of this fund, people were able to participate in community-based sports, social, and recreational programs 1,139 times — 1,139 chances to connect, laugh, grow confidence, and feel included.
The need continues to grow. In 2026, we expect scholarship requests to reach $12,000 as more people seek inclusive spaces where they are welcomed as they are.
Your donation directly creates access.
It helps someone say “yes” instead of sitting out.
It helps friendships form.
It helps community become real.
Together, we can make sure no one is left on the sidelines.
