Love looks stronger when everyone belongs. 💙♿

Hearts of Steel: SUPER Games 2026, in partnership with Project Empower, is a Valentine’s-themed inclusive sports celebration uniting PWD athletes, volunteers, and partner communities for a day filled with movement, teamwork, and shared victories.

From Olympic-style adaptive games to an adaptive basketball face-off, the event highlights resilience, trust, and the power of showing up for one another. Beyond the games, it’s about building connections and proving that sports—and love—are meant for everyone.

This is our way of honoring love in all its forms: for community, for advocacy, and for creating spaces where everyone feels seen, respected, and empowered.

Because real strength is inclusive. 🫶

Love hits different when it’s inclusive. 💙♿

Hearts of Steel: SUPER Games 2026, in collaboration with Project Empower, is a Valentine’s-themed inclusive sports event that brings together PWD athletes, volunteers, and partner communities for a day of movement, teamwork, and fun.

The event features Olympic-style adaptive games followed by an adaptive basketball showdown, celebrating skill, trust, and perseverance. More than competition, this is about connection—showing that sports are for everyone.

We’re doing this to celebrate all forms of love: love for community, friendship, and advocacy, while challenging stereotypes and creating a space where everyone feels seen and empowered.

Because inclusion is love in action. 🫶
