Sports & Recreation
Sport and recreation are about participation, community, and joy. GAC works with sports organizations, venues, and recreation providers to ensure that every fan, athlete, and guest can participate fully.
The Opportunity
Every Fan. Every Athlete. Every Guest.
Sports and recreation venues serve millions of people — and a significant portion of those people have disabilities. Whether attending a game, participating in a fitness program, or visiting a park, people with disabilities deserve the same quality of experience as everyone else. Organizations that invest in accessibility expand their audience, strengthen community ties, and demonstrate that sport is truly for everyone.
