The FREE 5th annual DisAbility Sports Festival will be held at Cal State San Bernardino on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011 from 9a.m. - 3:30p.m. It is free for people with ANY disability and ANY age. Last year, we had 600 participants ages 8 months to 84 years old. This year, we expect to have 700 participants including 100 veterans at the free festival. Please register fast as spaces will fill. We will introduce the participants to at least 20 different sports with most sports being coached by an elite internationally competing athlete with a disability. We also provide free breakfast and lunch to all the participants and t-shirts to all those who pre-register. Supporters of the athletes will have the opportunity to purchase their own lunches at the festival. We will also have over 30 information booths about other community programs and services available for people with disabilities and their families. In all, we expect to have 1500-2000 people attend the festival.

Our keynote speaker during Opening Ceremonies will be James "Will" Wilson, Navy Master Chief (retired) who will climb Mt. McKinley this summer along with several other veterans with disabilities and is the adapted sports coordinator for Navy Safe Harbor. Please help us spread the word so that we can reach our goals of 700 participants and 100 military personnel. We would love for you to come out!
