Social Recreational Event

We administer Social, Recreational, or Outreach activities each month. This includes a variety of events.

We coordinate and sponsor several accessible sports and sporting events throughout Arizona in order to encourage people to return to the hobbies and activities they enjoyed before their injury.

We also arrange support group mixers, holiday events, any activity that encourages healthy living, sports, fitness, nature, and re-engaging into the community, in a manner that is similar to that prior to injury.

For more information, contact us.
