Over 50% of children with disabilities and chronic medical conditions cannot access regular leisure facilities, so can’t play, exercise or socialize in the same ways as their peers.

This not only affects them, but leaves the whole family in isolation, with over 50% of parents suffering mental health issues as a result.

BWP offers a solution, providing, Respite, Enrichment programs, accessible fun and Therapeutic Recreation for children and adults with chronic medical conditions and disabilities.

Walk alongside us as we strive to eliminate barriers for our local children and adults with chronic medical conditions and disabilities. Together, we can make a profound difference in their lives, ensuring they have equal opportunities to thrive and participate fully in our community.

Friendships💙

Laughter😂

Belonging🤩

These are just 3 things you will experience when you come to The Brave Warrior Project💫

From BWP Warrior to Volunteer💛

Meet Dani🤝

We met Dani in 2016.

We had the opportunity to support Dani and her family during some of their most difficult times💛

At 2 years old Dani was diagnosed with a Desmoid tumor, in her right head and neck. Desmoid tumors are rare and difficult to treat. Medically, Dani has endured oral and IV chemotherapy treatments, multiple surgical procedures and radiation therapy.

In July 2021, after 3 years of residual tumor stability, Dani was ready to start another journey of facial reconstructive surgeries.

Dani is 16 and is doing well and is now an active volunteer at the BWP😎

We are excited to announce our annual Shine A Light Auction fundraising event which will be held at Ohme Gardens on Saturday, September 28, 2024.

This annual fundraising event gives you the opportunity to hear stories about the inspiring work we do for children and adults with disabilities and life-limiting medical conditions along with their families.

This is our WHY🥲

"I wanted to just mention and say that this means so much not just to myself for getting a break but more than anything for our boy. We have been struggling at home and have seen a big regression in behavior. This is the one thing he absolutely looks forward to and I know I see improvement in him. I can't Thank You and the Brave Warrior team enough for being there for him when he needs it the most."

ITS WARRIOR WEDNESDAY! 🥳👏

Meet Deigo! 🤩 He has been coming to BWP for almost a year now! When asked what he likes about coming to BWP he said:

"What I like about the Brave Warrior project is that there's a lot of toys that we get to play with and I get to make new friends and there are activities that we do together to help us with social skills"
