Special Needs Skating & Hockey!
Donation protected
Hello United We Sk8 Friends!! It is that time of year again! We want to thank all of our previous donors! It is because of your efforts that we have had the success we've had with United We Sk8! Our programs are offered to it's participants and families at no cost and it is our goal to keep this that way!
United We Sk8 is designed to challenge young individuals with special needs so that they may experience the pride, freedom and joy of therapeutic ice skating and hockey while achieving personal growth and gathering a feeling of success in a sports program usually out of their grasp.
United We Sk8 includes children suffering with ADD/ADHD, nonverbal, spectrum, cerebral palsy and epilepsy conditions. Using simple exercises, children will learn the basics of skating at their own pace. Our experienced coaches use each child’s individual skills and abilities to tailor a distinct lesson, which helps create a trust on the ice between professionals and students. Considering the diversities in every child, and with the encouragement from our volunteers, we ensure a comfortable, fun environment for children in our adaptive skating sessions. Those wishing to further their communal skating experience can move on to the Blackstone Valley Bulldogs Hockey League.
This past June, James Woelfel, a former student turned assistant coach, passed, away. James suffered from a myriad of neurological and physical disabilities, but with the help of our team, he was able to experience a sense of belonging and pride. We are proud to work with his family in his name to keep our program up and flourishing!
United We Sk8’s goal is to offer these programs to families and participants at NO cost. Ice time, props, awards, equipment, uniforms and teaching staff are completely cost free to these families, who are usually already bogged down with medical costs. Your donations keep our dream alive and thriving!
We are also holding our annual fundraiser this year in James' memory. It will be held on Tuesday, November 10th at the Boston Winery! Link Below:
