Meet Isaiah! 💙Isaiah joined Rec2Connect's Teen Social Club last year and has embraced every opportunity since then. Today, you'll find him participating in Adapted Rock Climbing, Inclusive Cheerleading & Spirit Squad, Hiking Club, and even our Intrasquad Swim Meet! His kind, outgoing personality brings positive energy wherever he goes, and it's been amazing to watch his confidence and friendships continue to grow. To learn more about our program offerings, head to https://rec2connect.org/program-overview/

"Rec2Connect has become like family to us. Throughout our time with Rec2Connect, we have seen participants develop confidence, build social connections, and improve their physical and mental well-being. Their evidence-based approach and unwavering dedication ensure that individuals of all abilities have the opportunity to thrive."
— Seneca, Isaiah's mom

Watching participants like Isaiah discover new interests, build meaningful connections, and gain the confidence to try new experiences is why we do what we do. We're honored to be part of his journey and excited to see where it leads next! 🎉

The Rec2Connect 6th Annual Golf Outing, presented by the Eileen and Harry Hewitt Family, is in THE BOOKS! 📚🌠

We raised over $68,000 last Thursday at Bunker Hill thanks to the generosity of our golfers, business sponsors, community supporters, participants, families, volunteers, staff members and board members! 🩵

To each and every person who played a hand making this golf outing our best outing yet and spreading the news about our mission - we are so incredibly grateful! ⛳

Because of you, we can continue to strengthen our Eileen Hewitt Scholarship Program so that our participants and their families can continue to receive life-changing recreation therapy programs.🥳
