Friends & Fun Respite Events

2-hour open gym & sensory friendly play

GRIT Adaptive is partnering with GRACE, Inc. to better serve families in need. GRACE (Granting Respite And Care for the Extraordinary) is a local nonprofit that hosts children with special needs and their families for supported play and education. Children and their siblings enjoy a non-judgmental place to play with a buddy (trained volunteer) who will guide them through a number of gross motor, fine motor, and sensory activities designed to encourage communication, interaction, and fun.


During the event, caregivers have the option to learn, connect, and build friendships in an educational community group called "The Chat".   This includes a speaker or panel, refreshments, and round table discussion.


Check out the GRACE website, and click on "Events" to register for Friends & Fun Respite or The Chat.


SCHEDULED DATES:


  • Sun. January 25, 3:30-5:30pm
  • Sun. April 26, 3:30-5:30pm

Cost:

  • GRIT Athletes tuition covers the cost of the respite event at Jam Hops for one child (in place of their regularly scheduled class). 


  • Siblings and children not enrolled in GRIT Adaptive: $15/child.


  • The Chat: $25/person.

Past Events

Fall Fundraiser

The 3rd Annual Walk & Roll Fundraiser was held at Bunker Hills Regional Park. The weather was beautiful as we took on a 1.5 mile walk, finishing off with refreshing beverages from the Café, a DJ, yard games, and raffle prizes. We had a blast celebrating our community of GRIT: Growth, Resilience, Inclusion, and Transformation. Thank you for your support!

Event Sponsors: Thank you for Fueling GRIT!

Go Clubbin' with Jam HOPE @ TopGolf

TopGolf was a "smashing" success! Supporters came together for an evening of golf, camaraderie, food, and fun. The "Play-a-Card" challenges added an extra level of excitement to the tournament, as players could have a pro swing for them, or even sabotage each other!


The funds raised will be used to sustain and grow our current programs that provide adaptive and supportive programs for youth and adults with disabilities. These include recreational classes in gymnastics, ninja, and dance, community outings and field trips, and vocational opportunities through our Café.  

Thank you to our sponsors

Winter Bake Sale

Our community came together and held an amazing bake sale in December 2024. We couldn't be more grateful for the supporters that planned, contributed and purchased the yummy baked treats!

2024 Walk & Roll

 

We are so grateful for our community! The Walk & Roll 1 Mile was held at the end of September on a gorgeous 80 degree day. The smoothies sold by the Café were the perfect refresher after the walk, dancing to the DJ music, and playing yard games!
