The Topeka Area Sports Commission is proud to celebrate Disability Pride Month, honoring the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, signed on July 26, 1990.

Disability impacts more than 1 in 4 U.S. adults and spans visible and invisible conditions, both temporary and permanent. Just like in sports, strength comes in many forms. Inclusivity makes every team better.

This July, we’re recognizing the power, pride, and contributions of athletes and community members with disabilities. At TASC, we’re committed to creating a playing field where everyone has a chance to shine.
