🌊🐠 Club Rec Takes on the Baltimore Aquarium! 🐢🦈

Our Club Rec community embarked on an unforgettable accessible travel adventure to the Aquarium in Baltimore.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Emily and Coleman Hunter Trust, our Club Rec community had the chance to dive into a day of discovery—a trip designed to make travel and exploration accessible for individuals and families facing mobility challenges.

From the thrilling sight of sharks (yes, Jaws made an appearance!), to the graceful glide of sea turtles, the dance of jellyfish, and the hands-on touch tank, every moment was filled with wonder, learning, and connection.

A mother shared, "My son and I had the best time - we could never have explored the aquarium without Sheltering Arms Club Rec. This memory will stay with us forever."

This experience didn’t just open doors to underwater worlds for one family—it brought our entire Club Rec community closer, building confidence and sparking friendships that will last long after the trip.

šŸŽ‰ We’re Almost There! šŸŽ‰
We’re almost there—thanks to you! Our community has come together in incredible ways, and we’re just steps away from reaching our $150,000 Giving Day goal.

Your generosity powers life-changing programs like Music Therapy, Adaptive Fitness, Recreation Therapy, and Spirituality — helping patients rediscover their strength, their joy, and their purpose. This is the impact of giving, and it’s truly extraordinary.

šŸ’› There’s still time to double your impact and help us surpass our goal:
šŸ‘‰ https://lght.ly/k3mmnp3

One patient recently shared:
"The acute care hospital saved my life, but coming to Sheltering Arms made my life worth living again."

Let’s finish strong — so we can help even more patients find their way forward.

šŸŽ¶ Today is Giving Day! šŸŽ¶
We’re celebrating a powerful program made possible by generous community support — Music Therapy at Sheltering Arms.

Music therapy changes lives. Your gift today helps more patients heal through music. It improves upper extremity function and speech recovery to enhancing cognition and even returning to playing an instrument. These outcomes represent the Margin of Excellence — the difference between standard care and exceptional, life-changing rehabilitation.

This program exists because of donors like you. Your gift today ensures more patients can experience the transformative benefits of music therapy.

šŸ’› Give now to unlock a matching gift and double your impact for patients in music therapy and our other Margin of Excellence programs. Every donation today moves us closer to our $150,000 goal—join us before midnight! https://lght.ly/6al4og0

šŸŽ³ Bowling for ALL Abilities was a STRIKE! šŸŽ³

Ever wondered what happens when a community comes together to empower everyone through play? Last Friday, September 12, 2025 we bowled, cheered, and made memories at our annual ā€œBowling for ALL Abilitiesā€ tournament! Special events like this one are just one of many programs offered through Sheltering Arms Community Programs. These programs rely on the generosity, volunteering, and commitment of our amazing community.

Thanks to the employees from DuPont Spruance Richmond and the DuPont Spruance Community Impact Grant, we had both financial and hands-on support that made the event a huge success. With 16 adaptive bowlers and 20 inclusive bowlers cheering each other on, the energy was electric! Our talented Recreation Therapists were on-site providing adaptations to ensure everyone could participate—because where there’s a will, there’s a way!

The tournament wraps up our January - August monthly league and sparks even more interest, awareness and spark in adaptive bowling from other community members. Ariel Winston, a new adaptive bowler shared, "It's been years since I have been bowling, and I will definitely bowl again and get another strike."

šŸ’› Huge thanks to the VCU Physical Therapy students for volunteering, assisting players, and bringing the best cheer squad in Richmond!

Help us create more moments like this! Donate today at https://lght.ly/1kdp879 and empower people of all abilities to thrive. Every share and gift brings us closer to an even more inclusive community.

Every gift—big or small—moves us closer to our $150,000 Giving Day goal! And thanks to a generous group of donors, your gift will be matched 1:1 up to $75,000! Double your impact today!

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to regain your independence after an injury? At Sheltering Arms, we see that transformation every day.

Our Adaptive and Medical Fitness program is more than just a workout—it’s a pathway to possibility for many in our community.

Niki Johnson, an exercise physiologist on our fitness team, witnesses the Power to Overcome every day by helping individuals discover their ability to move, grow stronger, and thrive—often in ways they never thought possible. This isn’t just physical recovery—it’s emotional renewal, confidence-building, and community connection.

Thanks to generous community support, our clients benefit from specialized adaptive fitness equipment that helps them succeed on their Road to Recovery. These tools aren’t just devices—they’re lifelines that restore independence and hope.

Adaptive and Medical Fitness is a critical link in our continuum of care, bridging the gap between rehabilitation and lifelong wellness. And your support makes it all possible.

Help us reach our $150,000 Giving Day goal early! Make a gift at https://lght.ly/63h51db

Thanks to the generosity of a dedicated group of donors, every contribution will be matched—dollar for dollar—up to $75,000.

🌱 Club Rec Spotlight: The Babylon Farms Hydroponic Garden 🌱
Ever wondered how a simple garden can transform lives? Discover how Club Rec members are growing not just vegetables, but confidence and community!

This Giving Day, we’re excited to share the first in a series of stories highlighting Club Rec, one of our Margin of Excellence programs that brings joy, learning, and wellness to our community.

Thanks to generous community support, Club Rec members are growing fresh produce in our Babylon Farms Hydroponic Garden. One of our members loves using the microgreens on his sandwiches and always ask for more!

šŸ’™ Help more members have access to hands on programming by making a gift on Giving Day. Your gift will make a lasting impact on our Margin of Excellence programs - https://lght.ly/36388a.

šŸ„— Members help tend the garden and enjoy the fruits (and veggies!) of their labor in cook groups. We’ve made fresh salads with our lettuce, pasta dishes with our basil, and even personal pizzas!

🌿 Any produce not used in cook groups is sent home with members, helping improve access to fresh, nutritious food.

šŸŒž The garden is fully accessible and brings a sense of brightness and pride to Club Rec. Members say it’s one of their favorite parts of the program!

Today, we honor the incredible story of Danny — a devoted dad whose strength, resilience, and unconditional love continue to inspire.

Danny’s life changed when he experienced a stroke. As his family navigated new roles and challenges, Danny remained a steady and loving presence for his children. Through recovery, he shows us what true courage and fatherhood look like — leading with grace, heart, and unwavering commitment.

This Father’s Day, we celebrate Danny and all the fathers, grandfathers, stepdads, and father-figures who remind us that caregiving is a shared journey — and that family is built on compassion, courage, and connection.

Happy Father’s Day to all who love like a father. šŸ’™
