Can Play Sports is a nonprofit adaptive sports and recreation organization that offers year-round programming for children and adults who can’t go full speed due to a physical, cognitive, or emotional disability. By adapting the pace, equipment, or nature of an activity, Can Play Sports provides a safe and accessible environment where participants can go at their own speed.
Can Play Sports opened its first licensed location in Iowa City. The facility offers five, four-week sessions, providing a safe place for 75 children to play and be social outside of school and therapy. University of Iowa Therapeutic Recreation and Physical Therapy students, as well as area educators, therapists, and experienced community members, provide volunteer support during adapted play.
Through the Sonnentag Foundation, County Materials supports dozens of charitable organizations and causes in four key service areas: Hunger & Homelessness Support, Service Members & Veteran Support, Sexual Abuse and Domestic Assault Services, and Mentoring & Skills Building.
