he dramatically transformed that business into a powerful, diversified, global media brand. He was also the launch publisher of Crain’s New York Business, a senior executive at Norman Lear’s ACT III Communications and the Creator/Chairman of the NBC Quill Awards before he

Adaptive Sports Foundationwww.adaptivesportsfoundation.org

The Adaptive Sports Foundation (ASF) is a non-profit organization that provides profound and life changing experiences for children and adults with physical and cognitive disabilities and chronic illnesses through outdoor physical activity, education, support, and community. Founded in 1984, the ASF is considered one of the top adaptive sports programs in the country offering winter and summer sports to both children and adults. Through their participation, individuals develop an increased sense of personal accomplishment by becoming involved in activities that have previously been inaccessible to them. ASF’s supportive and therapeutic environment has given thousands of children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to have fun and be free of their daily challenges and difficulties.

The ASF’s Warriors in Motion (WIM) program provides participating injured United States servicemen and women with a basic knowledge and practice

of wellness and the importance of lifelong healthful living. Each event includes adaptive sports instruction, as well as education on other healthy

practices such as yoga, good nutrition and stress reduction techniques. Over the course of each event, there is also time for the participants to

connect with each other. We view the time that veterans spend together as an essential part of their healing. All Warriors in Motion programs are goal oriented and empower the warrior to take charge of his or her own fitness

and wellness.
