“The second annual Adaptive Sports Expo is a one-of-a-kind and meaningful program that highlights the power of inclusivity in sports,” said Mayor Nikki Perez. “This event creates an opportunity for individuals with disabilities to showcase their talents and determination through high-quality sports and recreational activities, while bringing the community together in a spirit of connection and support.”

“The City of Burbank is proud to host the second annual Adaptive Sports Expo, continuing our commitment to providing innovative and inclusive opportunities for individuals of all ages and abilities,” said Marisa Garcia, Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Director for the City of Burbank. “This year, we are thrilled to build on the success of our inaugural event, offering even more programs that promote empowerment, resilience, and a sense of community. We are grateful for our partners—Triumph Foundation, SoCal Adaptive Sports, Hearts for Sight, the Burbank Tennis Center, Angel City Sports, and the Burbank Advisory Council on Disabilities —whose support makes it possible for participants to break barriers and achieve their goals.”

Participants of all abilities are welcome to register for this free event. The first 250 participants will receive giveaway bags and a t-shirt in their preferred size. Volunteer opportunities are also available to individuals 14 years and older to support this event through assisting participants and helping run various sports.
