2024 Wasatch Adaptive Sports Year-End Giving Campaign:
Biking and Belonging with the Hamilton Brothers
Meet Arthur and Ben Hamilton. They’re brothers who love to be outside together, and they definitely love to be silly.
It hasn’t been easy for Arthur, who has Spina bifida, to get outdoors with his brother and other kids his age. In a world that is not always accessible to his needs, Arthur would sometimes find himself left behind in sports and recess, discouraging him from being active.
Then the Hamiltons found Wasatch Adaptive Sports (WAS). Arthur has skied and biked with WAS, finding joy, connection, and major silliness with Ben and other kids. In the words of Marty, Arthur’s dad: “this program just allows him to be a kid. And we are so grateful for that.”
Through December 31, 2024, Wasatch Adaptive Sports is raising money so that no child, adult, or veteran is left out of the incredible recreation opportunities available in our state. Fund support equipment, no-cost access, and so much more. Will you be a champion for kids like Arthur this holiday season?
2024 Year-End Giving Goal: $350,000
