High costs and a lack of resources should not keep individuals with physical challenges from being active. We collaborate with local Idaho partners to fund grants for adaptive sports equipment, training, and competition expenses.

The state once known solely for its potatoes, ghost towns, and Basque and Native American history is making its mark for a new reason these days: elite adaptive athleticism.
Home to multi-medal Paralympic legends like Muffy Davis and Willie Stewart, Idaho has become a haven for athletes of all ages and abilities to discover their passions and refine their skills on the path to the Paralympics.
