“BORP, and particularly the wheelchair basketball program under the direction of Coach Trooper Johnson, has dramatically changed my son’s life trajectory.”

-Zimra Vigoda, mother of youth player, Amit Vigoda

BORP changes lives through the power of sports and recreation. From the moment a person pushes onto the court to play ball, rides a hand cycle for the first time, or embarks on a group trip to explore parts of the California coast the previously seemed inaccessible, they discover a world of new possibilities.

From BORP participant surveys:

93% of youth participants report increased confidence and self-esteem.

88% of youth participants report improved decision-making and goal setting.

79% of youth participants report increased leadership skills.
