Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation

Speaking of giving, how cool is it that our 297 volunteers collectively donated 16,407 hours of their time and energy to our mission at Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation this past year? That alone has an economic value of over half a million dollars…🤯 This is all to say, consider donating your time to small nonprofits accomplishing big things in your communities this year! I promise it’ll make a difference. — #Giving #Donate #AdaptiveSports #NonProfit #Volunteer #GivingTuesday

This past year, MASR student, Kellan (pictured below), was instrumental in helping us acquire two brand new VertaCat golf carts to expand access to the sport of golf across Maine and join his school's golf team. Earlier this summer, our friends at the Stand Up and Play Foundation came out to teach our staff and students more about these new devices so that we are ready for the busy season ahead. Thank you, Anthony, for your time and dedication to increasing access to golf for all! #AdaptiveSports #AccessForAll #AdaptiveAthlete #SportForAll #AccessibilityMatters #Golf #AdaptiveGolf

We are so grateful for our partner in adaptive access across Maine, L.L.Bean 💚

2023 was a year to remember for Maine Adaptive. It was the year we bounced back stronger than ever after two challenging pandemic years. We experienced record numbers for participation in adaptive sports across Maine and we cannot wait to see where this momentum carries us next into 2024! Our mission's reach would not have been possible without our amazing supporters and volunteers who have stuck with us through thick and thin. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making what we do possible for children, adults, and veterans with disabilities.
