The Bart Center Annual Fund​
Bart Adaptive Sports Center's Annual Fund helps bridge the “gap” between program income and the true cost of operating the center. Your support helps keep our rates as affordable as possible, provides scholarships for some participants, and ensures that our programs continue to enrich the lives of our participants.

The Bart Center Equipment Fund​
The Bart Center Equipment Fund helps to support our participants with adaptive equipment. Your support will help us keep our equipment supplies in good working order and provide them to participants for their lessons.

Donation Impact​

In addition to having our winter come to an abrupt stop, our summer programming is not at full capacity, Covid-19 has forced a number of Bart Adaptive Sports Center's in person fundraisers to be cancelled. As a non-profit that relies heavily on events to secure the funds needed to deliver crucial programming, your support is needed now more than ever.
​
Donations for the Bart Center will help continue to deliver creative, mission- driven programming to our participants that promotes physical and emotional health, while participating in sports in our local communities.

Testimonials

​My son Erik (9) is on the autism spectrum and has low muscle tone.  He is more of an indoor person and has been timid about most sports.  Since some of my own happiest childhood memories were from our family’s ski vacations, my wish was for Erik to try out skiing and like it enough that we could spend time on the slopes together some day.

From day one, despite frigid temperatures and brutal winds, Erik has loved skiing – thanks to the Bart Adaptive Sports Center.  Betsy can read kids as if she’s known them for years, she does a fantastic job matching them with instructors, and has helpful suggestions for each child.  All volunteers that Erik has had the pleasure to ski with have been kind, patient, and empathic (In Erik’s words: “They are all really, really nice!”).  They adjust their approach based on what works for him and what doesn’t and even his mood on a given day.  They treat him with respect, encourage him to try new things, give him confidence, and make it a lot of fun!  From the second weekend onwards, we have gone onto the big slopes together.  Seeing the big smile on his face after a long day of skiing makes me so happy!

We are so glad we found Bart Adaptive Sports Center and will be spending many more weekends skiing here.  Thank you for this wonderful service and for all you are doing for children like Erik!
