BORP survey seeks critical input from the SCI community

Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program (BORP) was recently awarded a grant from the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation to develop and implement a dedicated outreach initiative to people with spinal cord injuries. The goal of the initiative is to increase their participation in programs that are centered around improved fitness and wellness.

This is where you can offer your input if you have a spinal cord injury by taking this very brief survey that will help inform their program planning and ultimately bring you more opportunities to get fit and recreate. Complete this survey by Feb. 1st and you will be entered into a drawing for two people to win a $25 gift card (only one entry per person is allowed). Take the survey HERE.

BORP will offer a menu of new ‘healthy lifestyle’ and fitness classes designed for individuals with SCI, but open to anyone, at their Adaptive Fitness Center at the Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley. New classes and workshops may include chair yoga, upper body strengthening and conditioning. There will also be some dedicated cycling rides, outdoor adventures, and on May 19, they will host an Adaptive Sports & Recreation Festival at Aquatic Park, with opportunities to try out a climbing wall, kayaking and cycling. This effort is being led by Bonnie Lewkowicz & Cynthia Noonan, both individuals with spinal cord injuries. To sign up to be notified of SCI specific activities, email bonnie@borp.org or cynthia@borp.org.
