The Athletes with Disabilities Hall of Fame honored seven honorees on October 25, at the MotorCity Casino Sound Board in Detroit, Michigan. Our honorees are role models for the next generation of young people with disabilities, and their awe-inspiring stories bring much-needed awareness to the general public. We celebrate the accomplishments of persons of all disabilities – from wheelchair rugby players to amputee skiers to visually-impaired swimmers – and each honoree must meet strict criteria for integrity and contributions to society.
