Challenge the status quo by removing boundaries and breaking down barriers of ignorance and attitude that can block the path of independence for individuals who have disabilities.
Kindness by being friendly, generous and considerate. Doing intentional, voluntary acts of kindness to ourselves and others.
Collaboration so we can make our club work together. Our club requires a team effort. We encourage people to work jointly with others and share ideas.
Have Fun and make our club enjoyable for all. Fun is serious business for kids. Play helps them learn to solve problems, get along with others, express creativity and develop physical skills and flexibility.
