In honor of Disability Pride Month and this year's theme, “The World Works Better with Us,” we celebrate the strength, resilience, and sense of community that make adaptive sports and recreation so meaningful. Disability Pride Month commemorates the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) while also recognizing disability culture, increasing visibility, and highlighting the ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive and accessible world.
At WASA, there is no “us” without all of you who are at the heart of our community. This Disability Pride Month, we celebrate YOU—our athletes, families, volunteers, supporters, and partners. Thank you for sharing your passion, uplifting one another, and helping make adaptive sports and recreation a place where everyone belongs

Athlete Voices
In honor of Disability Pride Month, we’re proud to share the voices of the athletes who make the WASA community so special. Their stories celebrate resilience, connection, and the life-changing impact of adaptive sports.
You’ll often find Connie and Eddie at WASA events, bringing energy, encouragement, and a passion for sport—especially when they’re out there crushing it in their sport of choice. As we celebrate Disability Pride Month, we invite you to read on and hear Connie and Eddie’s perspectives on what Disability Pride means to them and how their experiences with disability and adaptive sports have shaped their lives.
Celebrating Partnerships that Empower our Community
WASA is proud to recognize the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation as a sponsor of Back in the Game. Inspired by founder Craig H. Neilsen’s vision, the Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals living with spinal cord injury through investments in community programs, education, and research. Their commitment to inclusion, opportunity, and independence helps create meaningful experiences that empower individuals with spinal cord injuries to live active and fulfilling lives. We are grateful for their partnership and support in making Back in the Game possible.
