How will your contribution make an impact?
A contribution to the 2024 The Hartford Nationals will enhance the quality of the experience for athletes and help offset the cost of developing, planning, promoting, and coordinating the event, which exceeds $250,000. Your support will transform lives and help make the event a reality for athletes like Dr. Cheri Blauwet.
Dr. Cheri Blauwet sustained a spinal cord injury in a farming accident at the age of 16 months near her home in a small Iowa town. It wasn’t until 8th grade that she discovered sports. She attended Junior Nationals and as a result learned how to travel independently and began to be her own person.
“Adaptive sports absolutely changed my life and shaped me into the person I am today. Looking to the future – we need to ensure that all young people with disabilities have these opportunities for growth and discovery.”
– Dr. Cheri Blauwet, Paralympian
