This weekend, LuskinOIC was proud to sponsor the Long Beach Adaptive Sports Fair, which brought together more than 300 athletes with disabilities and 150 community volunteers for a day of inclusive fun. Participants of all abilities had the opportunity to try more than 10 adaptive sports during the second annual event held at Long Beach city College. Through our partnership with Thrive Adaptive, we also provided hands-on experiences for aspiring clinicians to work alongside people with disabilities and some of the area’s top coaches.

The weekend’s impact didn’t stop there. LuskinOIC’s disability community liaison, Joe Holt, was invited by the city of Burbank as a dignified guest to celebrate its adaptive recreation program. The city also recognized the Burbank Leadership Council, a group of emerging leaders, for their yearlong fundraising efforts that resulted in $90,000 in adapted sports equipment.

The new equipment includes two electric all-terrain vehicle wheelchairs—making city trails accessible for all for the first time—as well as custom fencing wheelchairs to support the city’s growing adaptive fencing program, now one of the largest in the country. 

None of this would be possible without the continued commitment of Burbank Parks and Recreation under the leadership of Diego Ceballos.
