Registration for BORP's May 19 SportsFest is now open

Bay Area Outreach & Recreation Program (BORP) is now accepting registrations for its SportsFest taking place on Sun., May 19 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. SportsFest provides the opportunity for participants to try out some of BORP’s adaptive sports and recreation activities, featuring cycling, kayaking, an outdoor seated Tai Chi class, and climbing. There’ll be plenty of information about BORP’s other programs and a free lunch will be served.

Funded by the Neilsen Foundation, the 2019 SportsFest is aimed at youth (ages 10 and above) and adults with a spinal cord injury. Priority registration is available to individuals with an SCI through May 4th and can be done HERE. After that, registration will be open to everyone.

BORP will offer a free shuttle from the Ed Roberts Campus (at the Ashby BART station) to the bike house but you must pre-register with cynthia@borp.org. The shuttle will operate 10 a.m.-3 p.m. and run every hour on the hour.

As always, volunteers are needed to help throughout the day. Volunteers can sign up any time. There is plenty of opportunity for people to both volunteer and participate in activities.
