Featured Organization: Move United
We all know that sport makes us stronger; physically, mentally and socially. That is true for people with and without disabilities, but youth and adults with disabilities have fewer opportunities to participate. Move United, the national leader in community-based adaptive sports, uses the power of sport to push what’s possible for people with disabilities, confronting ignorance, fueling conversation, and inciting action that leads us to a world where everyone’s included.
