On May 7, 2025, the Louisville Metro Council Appropriations Committee approved a $1,000 allocation from District 15’s Neighborhood Development Fund to Gathering Strength, Inc. to sponsor its first annual Adaptive Recreation Showcase. The event will take place on July 19, 2025, at the U of L Student Activities Center and offers free access to adaptive sports demonstrations—wheelchair basketball, rugby, handcycling, archery, track and field, and more—for people with disabilities. Mary Anne Tinnell of Gathering Strength is the primary contact for the event. The Silver-level sponsorship provides Gathering Strength with promotional logo placement on event signage and materials, plus a complimentary table at the Showcase. Funds will cover outreach, equipment rentals, and event promotion to expand awareness of adaptive sports and improve community engagement.
