Central Florida Dreamplex is proud to announce it has been awarded a $25,000 grant from the Big Nova Foundation to support its adaptive sports programming for individuals with physical disabilities in Central Florida.
This generous funding will provide specialized sports equipment, training, and inclusive opportunities for youth, adults, and veterans.
The grant will directly fund customized adaptive sports equipment, including specialized wheelchairs and other adaptive equipment across our four primary adaptive sports offerings of track and field, power soccer, wheelchair basketball, and sled hockey. By expanding access to underserved communities, Central Florida Dreamplex aims to foster physical fitness, confidence, and community engagement for all participants.
“Thanks to the Big Nova Foundation, we can remove barriers that often prevent individuals with disabilities from participating in sports,” said Cameron Gomes, Chief Executive Officer at Central Florida Dreamplex. “Adaptive sports empower our athletes, build confidence, and create a more inclusive community where everyone can thrive.”
The programs also promote social connection and reduce stigma, allowing participants to be recognized for their athletic abilities rather than their disabilities. By engaging families and the broader community, the grant strengthens inclusion, well-being, and quality of life for disabled athletes throughout Central Florida.
