Challenge Enterprises is excited to participate in the Gate River Run with The Ability Experience to help support athletes of ALL abilities! Our athletes are ready to stand for inclusion, break down stereotypes, and demonstrate that it takes all of our unique abilities to make a successful team. The Run for Inclusion is more than just a race, it is a moment in time where the Power of People creates the Possibility for Inclusion in our community.
This is THEIR fourth year participating in the Run for Inclusion. Since 2020, the team has grown from 4 differently abled participants and 12 support athletes to 2022 which included 16 participants and 24 support athletes.
Team members from Challenge Enterprises and The Ability Experience are combining forces again to create a fundraising team to ensure the burden of participation is not a limiting factor to their differently able athletes. Find out how you might be able to contribute at www.challengeenterprises.org
