DISABILITY PARTNERSHIPS

Working Together to Improve the Quality of Life for Persons with Disabilities

Thank You to Our Play Without Limits Partners

Play Without Limits: A Decade of Access is officially sold out!

On September 12, Disability Partnerships will bring together people with disabilities, families, caregivers, advocates, and community leaders at Nationals Park for a celebration of inclusion, community, and 10 years of impact.

For many members of our community, attending a major sporting event is not always simple. Transportation challenges, accessibility concerns, cost, and uncertainty about available support can make participation difficult. Play Without Limits was created to help remove those barriers and ensure people with disabilities can enjoy the excitement of a Nationals game with belonging and inclusion.

The overwhelming response to this event shows why accessible community experiences matter. Tickets reached capacity faster than any program in our organization’s history, and we are deeply grateful to the partners who helped make this milestone possible.

Thank you to:

United Spinal Association Metro DC Chapter • Adventist HealthCare • MGM National Harbor • Freedom Mobility Solutions • McCandlish Lillard Law Firm • PR Strategists • Tyree Brown Art • Independence Now

Their generosity, resources, expertise, outreach, and commitment to inclusion have helped transform Play Without Limits from an idea into a powerful community celebration. 

We are honored to celebrate this important moment with organizations that understand accessibility is not an extra - it is essential to building communities where everyone can participate.

To our partners: thank you for standing with Disability Partnerships and helping make Play Without Limits an extraordinary celebration of access, inclusion, and community.

Our Mission

We believe in an affordable, accessible world where persons with disabilities can actively engage in every aspect of their lives wherever they live, work, or play.

Impactful Programs

Our programs help persons with disabilities improve their quality of life through health and wellness, education and economic empowerment. Our current programs include adaptive wellness classes, self-defense classes, financial grants, and advocating for affordable, accessible housing.

Relatable Ambassadors

Disability Partnerships Ambassadors are individuals with disabilities who use their personal perspectives and lived experiences to advocate for accessibility and inclusion, raising awareness and supporting disability inclusion.

Pivotal Resources

We provide resources and information to help educate the community, caregivers, and disabled individuals that help people with physical impairments improve their quality of life at home, at work, and in the community.
