From June 2nd through the 6th, we hosted our annual Sports Tournament - and it was a blast! Staff and clients alike joined forces, battling against their opponents on the soccer field, kickball field, and basketball courts in hopes of becoming the ultimate champions. Right alongside them were our incredible volunteers, who on Friday, the day of our Tournament Finals, ensured that everyone was fed, hydrated, and happy.
We're so grateful for everyone who helped make this exciting week of games possible, including our valued sponsors: Resurrection Auto Body, Enterprise Fleet Management, and HUB International. Your contributions allow us to continue fulfilling our mission of providing essential services to individuals with developmental disabilities, so thank you! And thank you to each and every person who has joined us in promoting positivity and inclusivity in our community. Your support is deeply appreciated!

At TASC, we believe in a world where everyone is treated with dignity, kindness, and respect. This June, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and honor the courage and resilience of those who continue to push for equity and inclusion.
Many LGBTQ+ activists have also been powerful advocates for disability rights, including Aaron Rose Philip and Andrew Gurza. We stand in solidarity with those who are working to build a world where all people, of every identity and ability, can express their true, authentic selves.
