Our Mission:

To assist persons with physical challenges to Recover, Inspire, Succeed and Empower themselves and others by providing inclusive adaptive recreational sports programs.

RISE Adventures, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) was formed in March, 2007, and has become the leading recreational therapeutic out-reach program in North Texas. We Provide specific programs for children and adults as well as integrating the participants by establishing role model group activities for all ages and levels of physical disability. RISE is part of the Paralympic Division of the United States Olympic Committee, “Paralympic Sports Club North Texas, a Program of RISE Adventures”. RISE operates with more than 25,000 volunteer hours per year. The cost of living associated with a disability can be considerable. Therefore, all RISE programs are free for participants and family members in an effort to accomplish our mission at the highest level possible. Participation in all RISE programs grew exponentially from 425 in 2008 to over 6,000 in 2013.

RISE Adventures, Inc, is now the parent company doing business as (DBA) RISE Adap-tive Sports effective January, 2013. RISE is part of the Paralympic Division of the United States Olympic Committee, “Paralympic Sports Club North Texas: a Program of RISE Adventures”. As a Paralympic Sports Club (PSC), RISE was one of a few orga-nizations in 2012 selected to receive a substantial in-kind technical assistance grant from Deloitte Consulting through the Paralympic Division of of the United States Olympic Committee. The grant was specific to strategic planning, and encompassed multiple hours of webinars and phone consultations. Thus far, the results are a new name, logo, mission statement, website and a renewed focus on organizational op-erations and future growth.

THE BENEFITS – MEDICAL, PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL

Our therapeutic programs address concerns associated with immobilization and inactivity and provide a long list of benefits. Increasing activity and involvement in the community reduces medical complications, enhances body image perceptions, changes attitudes towards individu-als with disabilities, improves sense of self, controls stress, enhances self-efficacy, develops sense of mastery, increases immune system activity, reduces pain, increases muscular strength, improves flexibility and balance, improves cardiovascular functioning, develops consistent ac-tivity routines, reduces urinary tract infections, increases endurance, increases mental alert-ness, increases attention span, enhances memory skills, improves organizational skills, im-proves problem-solving, pre-vents social isolation, develops/maintains social skills, develops self-advocacy skills, builds skills to minimize disability stigma, masters skills for managing en-

vironmental barriers, increases knowledge of community resources and increases overall activity level.

Measurable outcomes are established through our ongoing research project, RISE Adventures Metrics (RAM). This project is designed to measure services to participants at a recreational level, developing their physical fitness and thereby improving self-confidence, self-efficacy, self-concept and esteem, and increasing overall mood states.

THE NEED – AMBULATORY AND PHYSICAL DISABILITY

People with disabilities have the highest rate of unemployment; the highest rate of poverty and the lowest level of education of any minority group in the United States. People with disabilities constitute a group that crosses lines of age, ethnicity, gender, race, sexual orien-tation and socioeconomic status. A disability may be visible or not; it may be long-term or short-term; it may be present from birth or acquired. Most importantly, it encompasses more than the medical aspects of physical, sensory, mental and cognitive conditions. The 2010 US Census Bureau (CB) reported a total population of 308,745,538. The American Community Survey (ACS) provided these numbers of persons living with a long term disability; 24,779,450 nationally (12.5%), 2,663,514 live in Texas (11.6%), of the 6,339,312 persons living in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex 584,153 (9.2%) live with some form of long term disability. The

ACS noted their survey does a good job of identifying persons with ambulatory disabilities, but due to the phrasing of the questions may not be as effective in specifically identifying learning disabilities (LD). The closest category to LD is the cognitive difficulty/disability. People with LD may not respond affirmatively to as it focuses on remembering, concentrating or making decisions - nothing specific to learning. The report indicated a plus or minus of total numbers of less that 2.9 % plus or minus of totals are cognitive. RISE only serves ambulatory and physical disabilities.
