A HUGE thank you to Kevin Wright and Marin County Parks for a fabulous day using their two Terrain Hoppers at Stafford Lake. BORP hosted this Terrain Hopper day where 13 people got to hit the trails. As one participant said, It was so nice to be able to look all around instead of at the ground where I'm usually looking while navigating my wheelchair.

Thanks to the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation for their support.

Today (April 28) is the first National Adaptive Sports Day—also marking the anniversary of Section 504, a landmark disability rights law rooted in Bay Area activism. BORP was founded in that same movement, grounded in the belief that disabled people deserve access to sport, joy, and community.

Today, that legacy is in action. Thanks to BORP community member Michelle Jenkins, all Rev Ride donations are being matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000.

Michelle is a wheelchair basketball player, coach, and active BORP participant who knows firsthand the power of adaptive sports and community care. Now she’s giving back to help sustain it.

We met our last match in under 48 hours—let’s do it again.

Give today and double your impact. borp.rallybound.org
