Dear Friend,
For 28 years, the mission of the National Ability Center has focused on the discovery of unique
ABILITIES within each and every person. We’re thinking BIG as we look toward the future of the
National Ability Center and I invite you to be a part of it.
In college I was fortunate to have a mentor who changed my life. Dr. James Graaskamp was determined
to not be defined by his disability. He saw within himself, within me and within everyone he met a
potential for greatness. He shared a world of opportunity made possible when you simply choose to
focus on your strengths, not your limitations. At the National Ability Center, that philosophy can be
seen in action every day. Our mission demonstrates that success in sports and recreation positively
impacts every part of life.
Your generosity has carried us a long way since 1985. Our BIG ideas continue to need your support.
From expanding training and education resources for organizations and communities around the
world ... to connecting families with the most innovative adaptive equipment ... to supporting more
than 20 international athletes to GO FOR THE GOLD at the 2014 International Paralympics Games we need your help.
I am tremendously grateful for the support from individual donors and community partners. You
enable us to provide the highest quality programs to our participants. The growing needs of veterans,
a world of people living longer with more complicated health challenges and increases in diagnosis of
major diseases like autism, cancer and diabetes have challenged our resources. But with you I know
we are STRONG.
Please consider increasing your annual gift by 10 or 15% to
help us meet the growing demand of our community.
DISC OVE R
Your support is a vote of confidence in our mission and your
help is vital in our ABILITY to make a difference in the lives
of the many thousands we reach and the many more they lead,
inspire and transform.
THE
Sincerely,
Chuck Heath
National Ability Center

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & 2013 BOARD PRESIDENT – Rising to the Challenge and Embracing Personal Growth
you for granting me a scholarship in the National Ability Center’s Equine Facilitated
“ Thank
Learning program. Working with the horses helped me become more aware of my own thoughts
and feelings and gave me the ability to better express those feelings to others. By challenging
myself, I am more motivated to make positive changes in my health and well-being and now know
that, if I take care of myself, my self-esteem can grow and that anything is possible.
”
– Michelle Smith
Thank you for your generous support of the National Ability Center, its programs and participants over the past year. At the National Ability Center,
we are fortunate to have individuals like Michelle who set an example for each of us to challenge ourselves, try new things and embrace growth and
change as part of an ongoing life process.
In the past year, the National Ability Center had one of the most aggressive expansion periods in our 28 year history – reaching our five year goal
for growth in individual participants in just one year and expanding our services and support by more than 30% since 2010. The rapid increase in
the population of individuals with disabilities combined with a greater awareness of the value of diversity and focus on individual abilities is driving
the National Ability Center’s expansion of programs and services.
Throughout the year, the Board and staff worked together to make important strategic decisions in all areas of our organization. From solidifying our
financial base through our reserve funding and endowment investments, to the acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment, improved facilities and an
increased focus on the training and education – we continue to build a solid foundation.
While these organizational accomplishments deserve celebration, they cannot compare to the challenges and successes of the more than 3,000
individuals that we worked with last year. For Tim who took his first steps, for Lisa who cried when her daughter did ‘the impossible’ and for Joe
who saw the light and his family past the darkness of PTSD, we say, “thank you.” Your support directly translates into stronger individuals,
stronger families and stronger communities. Please know you have a standing invitation to see the transformative power that your achievements
and efforts create each day at our center.
Sincerely,
Gail Loveland
