SNAP (Special Needs Athletes and Peers) Sports, Inc is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that has been providing individuals with physical and developmental disabilities a variety of sports based activities since 2012. Adaptive Skating, Ice Hockey, Flag Football, Cheerleading and Running Club give our special needs youth and adult athletes a safe and supportive opportunity to increase physical fitness and improve socialization while also providing a much needed respite for some parents that just need a little personal time.
We are a 100% volunteer run program. No paid board members or volunteers. We do not charge our athletes to participate in any of the programs, with the exception of ice hockey, that does have a small registration fee to help offset the high cost of ice time.
Our athletes ages range from 6 years old to 50+ and is open to all skill sets, no matter how minimal or advanced. Our programs incorporate the use of peers from local high schools and hockey programs. The peers mentor and assist with practice and drills for the skating programs, peer quarterback for our 3 man flag football teams and assist with the cheer practice. It is our belief that the peer volunteers and our special needs athletes both benefit from the experience of working together. Having an opportunity to see the world from a different perspective builds bridges to acceptance, tolerance and kindness.
As a non-profit organization, we rely heavily on the generousity of donors and sponsors to help cover the cost of equipment, facility rentals, games and insurance. These essential elements are crucial in ensuring the safety and success of our athelets. By making a donation or becoming a sponsor, you can make an incedible impact on the lives of these exceptional individuals. Your contribution will not only help us provide the necessary resoures but will enable us to expand our program, reaching more athletes and offering an even wider range of sports. Together, we can break barriers and create opportunities for personal growth, physical fitness and social intergration.
Thank you for your consideration and for being a beacon of hope for these extraordinary athletes.
