Did you know that All Out Adventures is turning 25?!  That's 25 years of providing access to the great outdoors for people with disabilities and their loved ones, older adults, and veterans throughout Massachusetts.
 

I’ve been paying close attention to what’s happening nationally and in Minnesota.  What I'm seeing has made me feel especially resolute about community-building and making a positive impact locally. 
 

All Out Adventures serves veterans, older adults, and people with disabilities, communities who have been harshly impacted by federal policies this past year. Federal funding cuts through DOGE and changes to federal grant-making have reduced funding for AOA's veterans programs by nearly half this year.
 

Every day AOA creates meaningful community access, connection, and joy for people of all ages and abilities.  Check out this short video from our adaptive ice skating program in Worcester last week to see what it looks like in action: https://spectrumnews1.com/ma/worcester/news/2026/01/13/massachusetts-dcr-adaptive-ice-skating
 

I understand the need for our financial support right now is great and coming from many directions.  If you’re able, and if this aligns with your priorities, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support of the Plunge. 
 

Thank you!
