Adaptive Sports, Recreation, and Resource Fair 2022

Our first annual adaptive sport, recreation, and resource fair was a huge success. The event was free where you could try out a variety of adaptive sports, participate in workshops, browse resources & information, and enjoy a free lunch & social interaction. The event was designed specifically for community members with SCI/D who use a wheelchair for their mobility, their families, caregivers and rehab professionals. Hosted by MCAP- Mobility Community Access Partners and sponsored by City of San Diego Therapeutic Recreation Services. Special thanks to Sprouts Farmers Market of Pacific Beach for providing water and fresh fruit and OMBAC (Old Mission Beach Athletic Club) for providing lunch.

This is a much needed service that will impact the lives of our members who have a high level SCI or diagnosis.
