Ending the Week with Gratitude: Keri (Coach)

“I volunteered for Jacob’s Chance because, growing up as an athlete, I experienced the significant physical and mental benefits that sports can provide. I wanted to help bring that same sense of excitement, joy, and inclusion to a community that is often underrepresented in athletics.”

“What makes Jacob’s Chance unique is its strong sense of camaraderie and community… where each athlete is supported and treated like family.”

As we celebrate National Volunteer Week, we honor Keri and all the amazing coaches who make our mission possible. Thank you for believing in inclusion and opportunity for all through Jacob's Chance.

Thank You, Gabe! (Athletics)

“I began volunteering at Jacob’s Chance to fulfill a class requirement. My first event was a baseball game… By the end of the baseball season, I felt completely at home with the Jacob’s Chance community. I honestly couldn’t imagine my life without all of you in it.”

Your time, energy, and compassion help create meaningful experiences for our athletes and families. Thank you, Gabe, for becoming such an important part of Jacob's Chance!

🌎💚 Happy Earth Day from Jacob’s Chance! 💚🌎

We’ve loved celebrating our planet alongside our incredible partners at Henrico County Recreation & Parks over the past couple of weeks!

From their Earth Day celebration on April 11 at Deep Run Park to yesterday’s Therapeutic Recreation program at Eastern Henrico Rec Center, our participants have been busy learning, creating, and caring for the environment.

At “From Trash to Treasure,” participants explored the importance of recycling and transformed everyday tin cans into beautiful planters - now ready to grow wildflowers of their own. ♻️

We’re proud to do our part in caring for our planet while creating inclusive, hands-on experiences in partnership with Henrico Rec & Parks. Here’s to continuing to learn, grow, and care for our world - together!

The Mile Makers season is officially a wrap! 🎉

In partnership with this 6-week program brought our athletes together to get moving, build confidence, and make connections across Richmond parks like Deep Run, Three Lakes, and Rockwood!🌳

Together, they logged an incredible 70 miles and finished with a 1-mile celebration event at Byrd Park, cheered on by athletes, families, and volunteers every step of the way!

HUGE thanks to Coach Jacki, Coach Kristy, and our amazing volunteers for making it all possible

So proud of our Mile Makers—what an unforgettable first season! 👟💚

The Mile Makers season is officially a wrap!🎉

In partnership with Sports Backers, this brand NEW 6-week program brought our athletes together to get moving, build confidence, and create meaningful social connections. Each week brought a new adventure as we explored a different Richmond park, visiting spots like Deep Run Park, Three Lakes Park, and Rockwood Park!

Week by week, our athletes showed up, supported one another, and grew stronger–both physically and as a community. By the end of the season, they had logged an incredible 70 total miles together!🙌

We finished the season with an exciting 1-mile celebration event at Byrd Park, where athletes, volunteers, and families came together to cheer on one another as the Mile Makers made their way along the course and crossed the finish line!

A HUGE thank you to our amazing coaches, Coach Jacki and Coach Kristy, and our dedicated volunteers who made this experience possible and such a success! Your energy and dedication made every week so special and kept our athletes going the distance!

We are beyond proud of The Mile Makers and so grateful for an unforgettable first season👟💚
