“Yesterday we rode our bikes to get ice cream. It was a 4 mile ride! Beatrice can now start and stop on her own. Thank you! We couldn’t be happier. It was a fantastic experience and we are so thankful to all the wonderful people that made it possible!” - a very happy mom after our iCan Shine bike camp.

This is exactly why we do what we do.

When you support Sunday Strong, you’re helping create life-changing opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities right here in our community. The impact isn’t something you have to imagine—it’s something you can see almost every day of the week through our fitness classes, special events, and programs that help our athletes build confidence, independence, and community.

If you’re looking to support a local 501(c)(3) that is making a real difference, you’ve found us. 😎💪❤️

Jeffrey was one of our athletes who completed iCanShine bike camp and needed a little extra help finding the right fit for a ride and some guidance and support. Help came through thanks to an amazing local organization, Bike Walk Indian River County, who gifted him the perfect bike for him!

Now Jeffrey can keep practicing and continue mastering a skill that brings freedom, confidence, and independence.

Our community is full of incredible organizations and people who show up when it matters most. We are so grateful to be connected with them!

Sunday Strong is strength in numbers.

As we continue to grow, we’re not just making our athletes stronger, we’re making our community stronger, too. Every class, every volunteer, and every athlete helps create a more inclusive world, one workout at a time 💚💪

The population we serve doesn’t get nearly enough opportunities to stay active and healthy. We’re working to change that by offering a variety of classes that are fun, engaging, and motivating for our athletes.

A huge thank you to all of our community gym partners for opening your doors, sharing your expertise, and believing in our mission. Together, we’re making a BIG difference—one workout, one class, and one athlete at a time 💪💚

We knew our riders would learn to ride two-wheel bikes at iCan Shine bike camp. What we didn’t realize was how much the week would impact our volunteers, too.

That’s the thing about Sunday Strong. You don’t just make an impact—you feel it.

Volunteer Jackson spent the week beside rider Jacob, cheering him on, encouraging him, and running alongside him every step of the way. By the end of the week, Jacob was riding independently. And when he hugged Jackson, you could tell exactly how much that support meant to him 🫶🏻💚💯

Thank you, WPTV, for capturing the magic of Sunday Strong's very first iCanShine Bike Camp!

This incredible week wouldn't have been possible without the generosity of the Henriquez family, Capt Hirams Resort, Sebastian River High School, and our amazing volunteers—many of whom were students from Saint Edward's School, Vero Beach High School, and Indian River Charter High School

Together, we helped riders gain confidence, independence, and in many cases, the ability to ride a two-wheel bike for the very first time.

Now that's what community looks like!

Sunday Strong's weeklong learn-to-ride camp brought together 20 to 30 individuals with intellectual disabilities for a day of fitness and fun at Sebastian River High School.

Turns out there was one thing almost as motivating as learning to ride a two-wheel bike this week... DUNKIN’! 🍩☕

As we got to know our riders, we noticed a trend: Dunkin' was at the top of many of their favorite things lists.

So when Dunkin’ stepped up and donated gift cards for all 24 of our riders, we knew it would be the perfect way to celebrate their incredible accomplishments and hard work throughout the week!

Thank you, Dunkin’ and Audrey Nunley Figueiredo for helping us make their achievement even sweeter and for putting big smiles on the faces of our athletes. ❤️🚲
