🌟 You could be the reason we reach our goal by the end of this month!

A few months ago, we launched 100 Reaches 100 to rally 100 monthly donors to help 100 adaptive athletes thrive through outdoor recreation.

📣 Today, thanks to this amazing community, we're just 11 monthly donations away from the finish line.

As Eric & Cindy, two of our incredible monthly donors, shared:
"Monthly giving makes it easier for us, and better for Adaptive Adventures... This way, we're helping all year long, without the end-of-year scramble."

When 100 people give just $12.50/month, we create life-changing adventures for 100 adaptive athletes annually. That's the power of collective impact! 🎯

💙 Will you be one of the final 11 to join this small but mighty team making a consistent difference?

🏷 Tag someone you think might want to be part of something that truly matters.

Let's cross this finish line together and show what's possible when a community rallies around access and inclusion.

We can literally see the finish line from here. Will you help us reach it? 🤩

August = Back to School! 📚

Back to school means back to early morning alarms, endless checklists, drop offs and pick ups, and the never-ending schedule jams! While you're gearing up for (or going into) color-coded calendar frenzy, schedule some time for yourself, your family and friends, and your community.

We've got a few tips to keep in mind as you pack your backpacks and meet your teachers! 🦾

1. Talk Inclusivity - not everyone plays the same or studies the same, but we can help teach our kids to be excited to learn together! Emily Harvey's () series, titled "The Girl With The Robot Leg," is a great primer to introduce adaptability and inclusion to young minds.

2. Get Outside - if you love a hot girl walk in the morning, chances are, so will your kids! Wake up together for the sunrise, go on a color walk together in the afternoon, prioritize picnic dinners while the sunsets. After a long day of working hard, you deserve to play hard too! ☀️

3. Connect Together - the fall rush fades, we're cruising into the holidays, and your child is coming home every day saying nothing special happened - only for you to find out they met Dwayne the Rock Johnson at lunch two weeks ago from their teacher. 🤦🏽‍♀️ To avoid fun (or un-fun) surprises, find ways to reach out to your child's teachers and school administrators. Organize your neighbors into starting a carpool, start a classroom group chat, and utilize shared calendars to synchronize your play group's meet ups. Everyone needs a village, but sometimes you need to take the first step.

4. Support What Matters - your kids are loving their classmates, everyone is getting fresh air and your child's teacher texts the group chat when classroom necessities are low - but you know there's more this community you've built can do. Connect with your co-parents to organize a fundraiser, and demonstrate impact for the mini me's looking up to you! 🧡

Our annual Colorado River adventure was unforgettable!
Over four incredible days, our amazing crew paddled through breathtaking landscapes, camped under star-filled skies, and soaked in everything nature had to offer. We launched in Colorado and wrapped up in Utah, creating lasting memories and sharing many first-time experiences along the way.
