Give the Gift of Health

In effort to fight issues that affect those with disabilities at a far greater risk than the general community, Jacob's Chance offers  regular fitness, culinary, and health lifestyle programs addressing issues of obesity, depression, isolation, atrophy, and poor nutrition.

​

$1000 covers the entire cost of 8 weeks of Inclusive Health and Fitness.

Give the Gift of Athletics

Buddy Ball Athletics provides full season athletics in an inclusive setting where athletes with physical, developmental, or intellectual disabilities are able to play alongside "buddy" volunteers. With a focus on adapting the sport to the athlete, anyone can play. Because our sports are non-competitive and supportive of unique abilities, out athletes gain confidence, learning new skills, and form lasting friendships. 

​

$80 covers the registration fee for 2 participants to play buddy ball.

Give the Gift of Adventure

This past year we have expanded our outdoor adventures program helping those with disabilities enjoy all that Virginia has to offer. Experiences like fishing, hiking, rafting, and kayaking build confidence and allow those who have typically been excluded to enjoy activities outside. 

​

$150 sponsors 10 participants for Fishing and Hiking Clubs

Give the Gift of Empowerment

Day enrichment programming engages young adults, often isolated once out of high school, the opportunity to keep learning and moving toward greater independence. Daily classes include art, music, STEM, culinary arts, photography, social skills, and more.

​

$500 supports an individual for a year of enrichment programs.

​

Give the Gift of Friendship

Social clubs, such as the Teen Scene and the young adult club, "The Hangout", give individuals with disabilities the independence to form friendships with their peers, navigate social situations, and experience friendship the way their peers without disabilities do, all in a supportive environment.

 ​

$125 supports an individual for a year of social opportunities.

Through developing new programs and partnerships with other non-profits and businesses, we're working to expand our offerings to make programs accessible to those in every part of Central Virginia.
