FSU ATA Upcoming Events:

FSU ATA members will be attending SportsAbility on Friday, April 8, 2016. At the event, members will be doing a community art directive and attending the SportsAbility Banquet later that evening.

SportsAbility, which will be held April 7-9, 2016, is the premier event of the Florida Disabled Outdoors Association (FDOA). This event is about enhancing the lives of people with disabilities by promoting active living. SportsAbility provides first hand access to resources and demonstrations of activities designed to encourage participation regardless of age or ability level.

People who attend SportsAbility learn about the value of recreation and active leisure for everyone – especially people with disabilities. People discover the latest in equipment, trends, and resources. This event provides an opportunity for people to network with people with disabilities, resource providers, and community organizations. There is no charge to participants thanks to their generous sponsors. Those interested in attending SportsAbility must register. Although on-site registration will be available, registering online is recommended.

FSU ATA also plans to volunteer at The Shelter’s Carnival. The official date of the day-long carnival is TBA, but may possibly be held on Saturday, April 23, 2016. The Shelter responds to the emergency needs of people for shelter, food, personal hygiene, clothing, medical assistance and medications, and crisis intervention services without charging fees. The Shelter also offers support services and referrals to other partnering area agencies for food stamps, housing placement, substance abuse counseling, legal aid, health care, job training and employment.
