Many of the youth participants we serve are families who cannot afford to pay for the extra academic supports, travel related expenses to attend college fairs, college tours, museums or cultural centers of learning that help shape their educational and career pathways. This years’ event will be hosted by the dynamic, Emmy award winning QPTV host & producer, Roslyn “Roz” Nieves, so you know the event will be high energy!

WHY: Adaptive sports equipment is often a barrier to people’s participation in sports. Adaptive athletes pay approximately 15 times more for equipment than non-adaptive athletes. Over the past six years, The Hartford, a leading disability insurer and an advocate of the adaptive sports movement for more than 30 years, has gifted more than 6,300 pieces of adaptive sports equipment.
