The day will be scheduled to promote inclusion and form community with peers from around the state of Washington.
There will be many sports and recreation programs available to have a hands-on experience, as well watch athletes currently involved in these sports. You will find information about resources in your community for recreation, employment support, independent living skills, healthcare, and advocacy.
