ABOUT THE CAUSE

IM ABLE FOUNDATION

IM ABLE provides six programs, gives grants to individuals to purchase adaptive equipment, hosts events and fundraisers, and encourages participation in sports. IM ABLE’s goal is to serve individuals from the whole Mid-Atlantic region and encourage organizations nationwide to undertake the task of serving disadvantaged, marginalized communities such as those who are disabled and veterans, and provide them with services they cannot regularly access, such as adaptive exercise.

Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where people of all abilities are supported, empowered, encouraged, and celebrated by each other, by volunteers, and by their families. They don’t get that everywhere. They get it at IM ABLE in abundance. Our adaptive fitness trainers and veteran mentors provide personalized plans and instruction to help individual clients and/or small groups achieve their goals, and then set new ones. Our emphasis on mindset is what sets IM ABLE’s adaptive training programs apart from the rest because with the right mindset, we firmly believe you can achieve anything.

IM ABLE functions as a nontraditional adaptive exercise organization and represents the small number of exercise institutions who encourage acknowledgement of the impacts a disability has on the individual. IM ABLE has a lower cost of membership than most institutions and incorporates hands-on learning and training. With an increase in programs, participants, and adaptive equipment, IM ABLE will provide the knowledge and increase the ability of the community to sympathize and understand the trauma of having a disability, how it affects the whole family, and its presence in many communities today.
