Thank yous from some of the CHASA Athletic Scholarship Recipients
Thank you for awarding an athletic scholarship to Trent for the registration fee for Junior Nationals. As you know, the week long trip across the county is expensive, between hotel and travel costs, it really adds up, but it’s worth every penny because participating in adaptive sports has been amazing for Trent. CHASA’s help with these registration fees makes a huge difference for us and makes the trip just a little more manageable for our family. We are very grateful for your support of our athletes, I have no doubt they will make you very proud! I know they make me unbelievably proud. Thank you CHASA for all you do to support our families.
We are extremely grateful for Ava to receive an athletic scholarship for the Junior Nationals competition.
This is a new endeavor for Ava, to compete in sports and participate in meets. The costs can add up quickly, but we are committed to helping Ava achieve her dreams. It is something that she is working hard for and it is amazing to see what she can do. I really do hope she can be an inspiration to other kids who want to try sports.
CHASA has been an amazing support system for our family and I am forever grateful for the dedication and support. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for helping to make it possible for Ekow to attend nationals. For him, and for our family nationals is the one event we all look forward to each year. It provides an opportunity for us to see Ekow and his friends exhibit true sportsmanship and athletic ability, and also have fun being amazing kids.
As you know, these events add up and can be taxing on the family finances. Your generous scholarship helps to release some of that burden, and in a way frees us to be more present at the event. We are truly grateful.
Sincerely,
Marian and Akwasi
We are honored to accept the scholarship that will help our daughter compete at the Junior Nationals meet. We are so very grateful for the opportunity for our daughter, Madison, to participate in this event, but as you can imagine the expenses add up quickly for us adaptive sports families. CHASA’S help truly, truly helps us so very much. Our daughter is doing an amazing job, and her confidence is soaring because of adaptive sports. We look forward to watching our daughter grow in her sports endeavors and we want to thank you for caring for these kids, and being here to help. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You’ve certainly helped our little family out tremendously! – Tara
