The Center will be closed Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day.

Today, we’re taking a moment to recognize and thank all the workers in our community who give their time, talents and dedication each day. Your hard work makes a difference, and we are grateful for all that you do.

This week, The Center staff had the opportunity to present to the Tulsa City Council about The Center and the challenges The Center members and other people with physical challenges face throughout our community.

Representing The Center and advocating for The Center members is an important part of our mission. Conversations like these help bring awareness to the barriers people experience every day and create opportunities for meaningful change.

We’re proud to speak up, share the experiences of The Center members and be part of the work to make Tulsa a more accessible and inclusive community for everyone.

Generosity in Action!

Thanks to equipment and clinics made possible by Move United Sport, more athletes at The Center have the opportunity to learn, compete, and stay active in Power Soccer, a year-round adaptive sport.

With an additional competition added this year, Power Soccer continues to grow at The Center!

Through our partnership with Move United Sports, The Center is proud to provide continued opportunities for veterans and members of the Armed Services to stay active, connect and have fun through adaptive sports.

Goalball is a Paralympic sport designed specifically for athletes with visual impairments, meeting Tuesday evenings at 5 p.m.

Our final Goalball scrimmage of the season is Friday, September 4, and we are so grateful for this partnership and everything it has made possible this season!

Camp may be over, but the impact continues!

As part of Camp Get Centered, campers made Get Well Cards for Ronald McDonald House to bring a little extra encouragement to families staying there. We recently delivered the cards, and the front desk staff were so excited to receive them!

This was just one of several service projects campers took part in this summer, including assembling supply kits for Street School, creating “Adopt Me” bandanas for Puppy Haven Rescue, planting succulents for Grace Living Center and making Meet the Teacher bags for their teachers.
