Our Back to School ALL Abilities Skate Event was an Arctic Blast!!!

Over 20 CPal friends came out to glide across the rink and join us for the reveal of the new adaptive sleds at Ice & Field!

In partnership with Ice & Field, and with funding from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, CPATH purchased specialty sleds that allow anyone with a physical disability to skate on the ice. These adaptive sleds are available to the general public at Ice & Field in Leander. We'll see you on the ice again in November!

Hey Mates! CPATH's Equipment Closet's Gone Global...AGAIN!!!

CPATH had the honor of helping a 2 year-old from Sydney, Australia get a much-needed Nimbo Posterior Walker!! Our new friends from Down Under heard about CPATH from a local family.

The family reached out to CPATH and as "luck" would have it, CPATH had JUST WHAT THEY NEEDED!!! The family was able to pick up the walker prior to heading back home to Sydney.

We wish our new Mates safe travels on their journey home!

The CPATH GRANT Program provides financial assistance for families, caretakers, and individuals with cerebral palsy.
