Representation Matters! Our nonprofit, the Adaptive Athletics Association celebrates a milestone moment as our President, Marsten Anderson, was invited to be part of a special recognition event for the (USTA) United States Tennis Association, receiving a California Senator Resolution for Tennis which had to be voted on and passed by all State Senators.

In a space where visibility is everything, wheelchair tennis had a seat at the table and it was powerful. This is what inclusion looks like in action. Thank you Senator Jerry McNerney

And thank you to USTA and Kamini Del Barba for the invitation to be there and for recognizing the importance of adaptive athletes too in the sport we love.
