Accessible recreation is more than just a means for a child with a physical difference to get out -- it's a way for them IN to a world of adventure.
It's an invitation to participate, to play, to explore their interests and have opportunities for discovery, community and connection.
Our board is passionate about the WAWOS Wishes program, which awards directed gifts to nonprofits across the United States that provide recreational opportunities and adventures for kids with neurodifferences and delays. These financial gifts of $2500 each support the good works these organizations do and allow them to grow their impact.
