The BORP Hall of Fame and Awards Celebration honors the achievements and contributions of members of the BORP community. The event will recognize outstanding athletes, dedicated volunteers, and bold outdoor adventurers, as well as individuals whose lifetime of achievements and commitment have had a significant and lasting impact on BORP and the Bay Area’s adaptive sports community.
Each of this year’s award recipients and BORP Hall of Fame inductees represent the best of adaptive sports through their belief in and commitment to BORP’s mission to enhance the quality of life of people with disabilities through the power of sports and recreation. Come join us at the Ed Roberts Campus on Wednesday, June 13, 2018, as we share their stories, celebrate their achievements, and honor their contributions to the BORP community and beyond.
In addition to honoring our award recipients, this event will support BORP’s year-round adaptive sports and recreation programs for people with physical disabilities and visual impairments.
