Kudos to one of our awesome athletes!

"Being inclusive makes everyone feel like they belong and are important, no matter what your job is," says Stephanie Kaiser, SOMN athlete and Animal Care Technician at Mayo Clinic. "Feeling welcome, valued, and respected makes a happy workplace. Mayo Clinic values inclusion. I feel so fortunate to work where I do!"

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and we are celebrating by highlighting athletes breaking barriers to employment and encouraging all of us to dream big.

NEW OPPORTUNITY!

Hello Flyers!

We wanted to share an upcoming adaptive yoga opportunity through Rochester Community Education!

Suzanna, who previously led a health and well-being class during SOFIT, will be teaching yoga for the next five Mondays from 6:00–7:00 p.m. at Northrup Education Center.

This is a Community Education program and is not hosted by the Rochester Flyers, but we’re excited to share another opportunity for our athletes to stay active and support their overall well-being.

Please see the registration information below if you are interested in participating!
