New Features Live on the Active Project:
Events Calendar, Messaging, Mobile Design, and More
The Active Project has launched new features to make getting active even easier! New to the platform is a searchable events calendar featuring hundreds of adaptive sports events nationwide (updated daily!) and an optimized map to search for users, events, or programs to find and engage with your community, whether they’re just around the corner or across the country. Plus, the site is now mobile-friendly, meaning you can access the Active Project from wherever you are. More details to come - stay tuned!
Mark your calendar! The next two Active Project Live discussions will be centered on rock climbing and basketball. We’ve got some experts in the field lined up to share their experiences and insights — and we want YOU to be part of the conversation! Our last Active Project Live had 37 people attend - we would love for you to join the next discussion, share your experiences, and connect with like-minded climbers and hoops fans.

New Adaptive Sports Building at Eldora Mountain Ski Resort
Eldora Mountain Ski Resort and Ignite Adaptive Sports have completed the construction of their new World Headquarters. The new 12,000 sq ft facility will expand the adaptive sports program offerings for both winter sports and on the mountain. The new space will make it easier for more people to get outside and be active!
Airlines are responsible for damaging up to 15,000 wheelchairs each year. Delta Airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are working to change that by allowing wheelchair users to fly in their own mobility devices. This new initiative could help reduce the risk of damage, make air travel less stressful for wheelchair users, and improve travel experience.
