Why make a contribution to Disabled Sports? Over the years, Disabled Sports has garnered a unique understanding of the inter-relatedness of providing a positive environment with therapeutic and psychological outcomes. The agency has steadily evolved, developing innovative programs to address the complex, changing needs of people with disabilities throughout Northern California. Today, Disabled Sports offers year round therapeutic recreation and sports rehabilitation programs for people with disabilities and their families. Disabled Sports accomplishes its mission through the following activities:

	Cycling		Four-Wheel Drive Outings
	Snowsports		White Water Rafting
	Golf		Camping
	Waterskiing		Watersports

Disabled Sports provides inclusive activities allowing the entire family to participate. By uniting families through recreational activities, we strengthen the well being of the entire family while ending the isolation of individuals with disabilities.

Each year, Disabled Sports provides service to nearly 900 people with disabilities. They learn the truth of our motto: “If I Can Do This, I Can Do Anything!”SM
