BlazeSports is the legacy organization of the 1996 Olympic Paralympics held in Atlanta, GA. Our mission is to is to change the lives of youth and veterans with physical disabilities through adaptive sport and recreation. 

Every year we host an awards ceremony called Triumph of the Human Spirit which is a term that was used for the ‘96 Paralympics. It is an evening of inspiration honoring those who have made a significant impact through adaptive sport and recreation. These awards pay tribute to the individuals, groups and organizations who demonstrate qualities beyond athletic achievement such as leadership, a positive attitude and who inspire, motivate, and truly epitomize the Triumph of the Human Spirit. The evening also recognizes leaders in community, business, government, media and public health who are examples of best practice in the inclusion and advancement of people with physical disabilities through adaptive sport and recreation.

Along with this celebratory event we will host a silent auction to raise funds for our 16 programs for youth and veterans with physical disabilites. We invite you to join us in supporting our silent auction and making a tangible difference in the live of those we serve. Your participation can help us raise the crucial funds needed to expand our programs, provide adaptive equipement, and enhance the lives of youth and veterans through adaptive sport and recreation.
