"Applying [for assistance] wasn’t hard. There was nothing to it. It was simple...," said Roy, a Grand Forks resident. "[NDAD] has helped me a lot over a period of years. It’s been wonderful. I don’t know what I’d do without its help.”
Now in its milestone 30th year, Escape to the Lake continues to provide individuals with health challenges the opportunity to experience the thrill of water sports using adaptive equipment, with support and guidance from trained volunteers. The event reflects NDAD’s longtime commitment to expanding access to recreation and promoting inclusive community experiences.
Through a donation from NDAD, a VertaCat mobility cart is now available at King’s Walk Golf Course—opening the door for individuals with limited mobility to experience the game in a new and meaningful way.
