What a weekend! 🎉

Our West Coast Regional Fall Classic was a huge success, and we are incredibly grateful to Progressive’s Disabilities Awareness Network (DAWN) Employee Resource Group (ERG) for helping make it possible! 💙

This year, Progressive generously funded new tents, awards backdrops, and speakers that are being used to enhance competitions across the West Coast. Their support helps create an exciting and memorable experience for our athletes as they compete, celebrate their accomplishments, and showcase all their hard work.

Progressive also showed up in person! Volunteers from Progressive’s DAWN ERG joined us to help set up the competition and lend a hand during flag football. 🏈

We are so grateful for the many ways Progressive continues to show up for our athletes, support our events, and champion our mission of inclusion. Thank you, Progressive, for being such an incredible collaborator! 💙

Your mind matters just as much as your muscles.🧠 Mental wellness plays a big role in helping athletes thrive – both on and off the playing field. Through our #StrongMinds program, athletes build confidence, develop resilience, and learn healthy ways to manage stress and overcome challenges. Today and every day, let's keep the conversation going and make sure everyone has the support they need to care for their mental health.
