Description
SPORTS MAKE US MORE
Move United uses the power of sport to push what’s possible for people with disabilities, confronting ignorance, fueling conversation, and inciting action that leads us to a world where everyone’s included. Sports make us more—more determined, more powerful, more ourselves.
A nonprofit, tax-exempt organization, Move United is governed by a Board of Directors, comprised of member organization representatives, athlete representatives and at-large members.
Sports have the power to change the world, pushing people further and bringing people closer. And sports shift the narrative from disabled to this abled. To this end, Move United’s vision is that every person, regardless of ability, has an equal opportunity to participate in sports and recreation in their community.
Our mission
Is to provide national leadership and opportunities for individuals with disabilities to develop independence, confidence, and fitness through participation in community sports, including competition, recreation and educational programs.
Since 1956, Move United has been redefining disability by providing year-round sports and recreation opportunities to people with a wide range of disabilities offering more than 70 different adaptive sports.
Through our national network of more than 200 community Member Organizations, Move United serves over 100,000 individuals with disabilities of all ages each year.
