About BlazeSports
BlazeSports America is the legacy of the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games. Our mission is to change the lives of individuals with physical disabilities through adaptive sports and recreation.
We serve youth, adults, veterans, and active military with disabilities including spina bifida, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, dwarfism, amputations, and visual impairments, as well as veterans with PTSD and PTS.
Our programs provide our community with the opportunity to increase physical activity, create new friendships, develop new skills, increase independence and experience success in school and employment.
