It's time to go "All In For Ability" on 9/7/24 at the Stirling Club as we host our 2nd Annual Charity Series of Poker Tournament. Last year's event raised over 38k allowing us to facilitate over 500 free fitness classes to the special needs community in 2023. I am pleased to say that we are on track to facilitate over 1,000 classes in 2024! There is still time to support our mission at this event by way of sponsorship. Don't miss out on the opportunity to support the ONLY gym in the state for children and adults with special needs. A special thank you to our partners Wynn Resorts, Aristocrat Gaming, Las Vegas Raiders and The PENTA Building Group for presenting this event for the second straight year.

Meet Elaina. Elaina is 24 with Down Syndrome and limited verbal communication. However, Elaina is the loudest voice in our cheer program. She loves to dance and work out with her friends and is one of the most colorful people at The Ability Center. Our special programs bring out abilities in individuals who were once left in the shadows. Please consider a monthly donation to support The Ability Center of Southern Nevada. Just $50 provides one individual with a yoga, cheer, adaptive fitness or Friday Night Fitness class. Your support helps us create a more inclusive community where everyone can thrive!
