Fundraisers and Programs for 2024!

The Community Brunch is scheduled for Sunday, September 8 and we can't wait! Join us and other local non-profits for an all you can eat gastronomical experience. Tickets and sponsorships available soon!

Our varied programs are designed with the differently-abled person in mind and we invite you to join us as a participant or volunteers! One of my favorites is Adapted Bike Camp - five days of fun instructions sessions that lead to mastering the bike! Join us March 18-22 at Downey High - volunteers needed!

We've partnered with MYSA to bring Soccer back and will be joining First Tee Central Valley for another session of Golf! Winter brings Snow Skiing and in Summer we hit the lake for Water Skiing; Adapted Bowling thrives year-round at McHenry Bowl. Miracle League is gearing up for Spring Season - we're looking for Players AND Buddies!

We're especially pleased to announce that Sign Language Classes will resume in the not-so-distant future - we'll keep you posted!

We appreciate you and your gifts of time, talent, and treasure - you help us make a difference!

Cathy
