The SW Washington community has been so generous to local nonprofits through the years during Give More 24.
Now with the sunset of Give More 24, Northwest Association for Blind Athletes (NWABA) is appealing to our local community to support the children, youth and adults who are blind and visually impaired.
Everyone deserves an opportunity to experience sports and physical activities. For those who are blind or visually impaired, these opportunities are not common. Most children and youth with visual impairments in the U.S. have never participated in sports or physical activity. They’ve never ridden a bike, run on a track, or even participated in their school’s PE class.
In 2007, NWABA planted its roots in the SW Washington community providing opportunities through sports and physical activity to individuals who are blind and visually impaired.
By participating in sports and physical activity, these individuals not only transform their physical health, but they are also empowered to build confidence, find independence, become part of a community, and learn valuable skills leading to a greater quality of life.
NWABA’s programs and services are offered at no cost to the participants and their families. Our goal is to raise $75,000 to support our life-changing programs and services. Every dollar can make a difference and YOUR GIFT WILL GO TWICE AS FAR, thanks to a matching donor. With your generosity, we can provide even more programs and services to children, youth and adults in our community.
Offers children, youth and young adults who are blind and visually impaired a unique opportunity to participate in a weeklong developmental sports camp.
Uses sports and physical activity as a vehicle to provide opportunities for individuals who are blind and visually impaired to build self-esteem, independence, and community among their peers.
Gives access to less populated, rural areas and around the world, through a variety of 60-minute live and pre-recorded audio-described virtual workouts seven times per week.
Provides adapted equipment instruction, equipment lending, a comprehensive instructional video library and physical education consultations for individuals, parents, and schools.
