2021 Adaptive Sports Calendar Showcases The Power of Sport
Move United uses the power of sport to push what’s possible for people with disabilities, confronting ignorance, fueling conversation, and inciting action that leads us to a world where everyone’s included. As the largest adaptive sports organization in the country, Move United serves over 100,000 youth, wounded warriors and adults annually through more than 175 Move United member organizations in 43 states and the District of Columbia.
Over 70 different adaptive sports are offered across the country, including alpine and Nordic skiing, snowboarding, sled hockey, wheelchair basketball, golf, cycling, swimming, scuba, track & field, archery, climbing, hiking, and more. To highlight the various adaptive sports available, Move United has produced the 2021 Adaptive Sports Calendar which features various athletes and adaptive sports, a listing of Move United members across the country, and other resources and information.
Move United solicited images through a nationwide photo contest. After receiving nearly 100 submissions, 13 entries were selected for this year’s calendar. Photographers include Berin Klawiter, Erebor Photography, Kevin Hentz, Stephanie Sevilla, Jeff Hackett, Wendhy Jeffers, Maureen Bruno, John Thompson, Craig DeMartino, Tim Brown, Mike Killion, Lexi Branta Coon, and Reed Hoffmann. Featured athletes include youth, 2016 Paralympian Desmond A. Jackson, Paralympic hopefuls Danielle Aravich, and Mary Kate Callahan, wounded warfighters and other adults with physical disabilities.
Move United knows the way people view disability is far from reality. This calendar was developed to help shift the narrative and redefine what disability looks like. Sports make us more—more determined, more powerful, more ourselves. And they show the world what we can do. To download your copy of the 2021 Adaptive Sports Calendar, click here.
