Prevailers Sports is a nonprofit born out of a love for adaptive sports. Prevailers Sports got its informal start on September 8th, 2018, when four handcyclists completed the T.E.A.L. 5K together in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. After accomplishing this with support from The Axis Project, we decided to participate in many more races together. But doing this proved to be costly.
By founding Prevailers Sports, we aim to help current and future members with race registrations, personal training and provide them with adaptive sports equipment like handcycles and transfer seats. Unfortunately, COVID-19 veered us off course to reaching these goals.
Soon after legally forming, New York City locked down due to the pandemic and our work to apply for nonprofit status was put on hold, as were our race plans, and our lives as we knew them to be. Like almost everyone else, we at Prevailers Sports thought 2020 “was going to be our year.” And while it hasn’t been the year we expected, you can help make 2021 one to remember with your generous support.
