ABC Nation,
Congratulations to our youngest scholarship recipient of Fall 2016 session, Julia Palyok!
It’s taken me since July to be able to do this. This blog will be my very best attempt to capture the life and impact of one of my best friends who left a wake of influence that only Michael ‘Shorty’ Powers could achieve.
Former Paralympic Star, Dave Kiley, lists 5 key factors that makes an athlete – a Paralympic Athlete.
Yo Readers ! It’s been awhile. I had been really consumed with the end of my basketball season, end of my basketball life and the pursuit of a national championship.
Over the past few years, we have enjoyed working with community leaders to not only support their grassroots projects, but to also leverage their expertise in certain areas where we are not able to create programs for the disability community on our own together.
In the summer of 2015, during the Para Pan American Games in Toronto, a young athlete on Team USA caught our attention with his success in wheelchair racing. As we followed his athletic journey closer, we found out that he also played wheelchair basketball with the Para Spokane Jr. Team and traveled to Louisville for the NWBA Nationals. We were convinced this young athlete had a bright future ahead of him. We reached out to his family to learn more about his journey toward becoming the great athlete he is today. We are excited to share the story of Spencer Kimbro.
