BlazeSports America
About Us
BlazeSports America is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed as the legacy organization of the 1996 Paralympic Games held in Atlanta, Georgia. These games, the first of their kind held in the United States, showed the world the power and spirit of adaptive and Paralympic sport. For 28 years our mission has been to change the lives of children and adults with a physical disability such as a spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, amputation or visual impairment. BlazeSports was founded to provide ongoing programming in adaptive sport, recreation, and physical activity to Georgia’s youth, adults, veterans and military personnel with physical disabilities and PTSD. In 2007, BlazeSports added a Training and Education division to increase the capacity of local service providers across the United States to provide adaptive sports programs in their communities and schools.
