We want to partner with a mission worth rallying behind, and for 2026, that’s Adaptive Adventures. They’re a nationwide nonprofit that expands access to outdoor recreation for people with physical disabilities.
They help thousands of individuals and their families experience the freedom, joy, and confidence that comes from being active outside. And because The Lil’ Drifty is rooted in adventure, challenge, and community, teaming up with them feels like the perfect fit.
Because adventure should belong to everyone.
Adaptive Adventures works in communities across the country to make cycling, climbing, paddling, skiing, and other sports accessible through equipment, education, and inclusive programming. Many of their staff and instructors live with disabilities themselves, which means participants are supported by people who actually get it.
They build communities, uplift families, and help people rediscover independence, mobility, and joy.

They create and sustain adaptive recreation programs in underserved communities, providing training, equipment, and support so these programs last long after the first event.
From bike shops to climbing gyms to healthcare teams, Adaptive Adventures trains thousands of people nationwide on disability awareness, adaptive equipment, and inclusive program design.
When a piece of equipment doesn’t exist, they invent it. Adaptive Adventures collaborates with engineers, manufacturers, and universities to solve real-world barriers with real-world solutions.
Outdoor recreation changes lives. Improving confidence, reducing anxiety, and strengthening whole families. Their programs support not only the individual, but caregivers, children, spouses, and support teams.
