#TakeActionTuesday: #NationalAdaptiveSportDay is a time to focus on advancing inclusion in sports and highlighting the power of the disability community. 

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of the signing of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This landmark civil rights legislation barred discrimination against people with disabilities in all federally funded programs, including sports and recreation. 

When we increase access to adaptive sports, it improves physical and mental health, builds confidence, and creates community. WSF’s commitment to women athletes with disabilities comes to life through initiatives like the Travel & Training Fund and the Scout Bassett Grant – providing the access and resources professional athletes in adaptive sports need to compete and succeed. 

Join us as we celebrate the accomplishments and leadership of women athletes with disabilities. Together, let’s work to increase visibility and ensure adaptive sports are accessible to everyone. #TheEquityProject 

Your Turn: 
1. Go to www.NationalAdaptiveSportDay.com to sign the pledge committing to celebrate, honor, and advance adaptive sport. 

2. Apply to WSF’s Travel & Training Fund that financially supports women athletes of all abilities. Applications are open until June 16. This year, with support from the Stronger Than You Think Foundation, founded by two-time Paralympic silver medalist Ali Truwit, support for women athletes with disabilities will be increased.
