A place where all abilities shine

Thank you for a great winter!

Thank you all for a great winter program season. Although Mother Nature threw us a curve ball or two, our 33rd winter season was a great success. We could not have done it without our amazing team of 250+ dedicated volunteers, our generous donors, our hardworking staff and most importantly the positive and can do attitudes of our participants. Enjoy the off season and see you all in the fall!

ASF announces much needed kitchen renovation

It is often said that the kitchen is the heart of a home. Here at the Gwen Allard Adaptive Sports Center that is no different and thanks to the Gilbert Family Charitable Foundation, the ASF kitchen will get a much needed redesign and commercial upgrade. Each weekend an amazing crew of volunteers cook over 200 lunches for students, family members and volunteers in a kitchen that is over 10 years old and originally designed like a residential kitchen. The Gilbert Family Charitable Foundation has generously committed to sponsor the renovation to build a kitchen to meet our needs! We are currently in the planning phase and we are eagerly anticipating a new efficient kitchen that will produce wholesome and delicious meals for the many people who enjoy them for years to come.

Dralla Foundation Race4All partners hit the course

The first Race4All inclusive race, generously sponsored by Dralla Foundation, took place March 4th at Windham Mountain as part of the Michael Gray Jr Memorial Race. Adaptive Sports Foundation students partnered with able-bodied counterparts to form teams of two to compete against each other in a dual slalom race.

15 year old ASF racer Michael O’Hearn’s partner was 73 year young Lissi Gray, an unlikely pair, but quite possibly the team that had the most fun racing together. Lissi told us what a pleasure it was to have Michael as her teammate.

Children with cancer have some fun on the slopes

Each winter for the past 25 years, the Russell R. Huntington Jr. Foundation has sponsored a two day adventure in the Catskills for teenagers with cancer and other serious illnesses. This February the group of six teens arrived with staff from the Tomorrows Children’s Institute (TCI) at Hackensack Medical Center for two days of outdoor activity and time away from treatments, school and family. The trip gave the participants a chance to make new friends and try new things.
