Veterans' Adaptive Activities Day 2008
On Friday, October 3, 2008, the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs and the Chicago Park District hosted the second annual "Veterans' Adaptive Activities Day" at Northerly Island in Chicago. At the event, Veterans with disabilities were able to try a variety of sports equipment with varying levels of activity with adaptive fitness specialists from across the region. The fun-filled day included adaptive activities such table games, golf, handcycling, rowing, tennis, track and field, wheelchair basketball, football and much more. The Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs and the Chicago Park District are looking forward to hosting the event again next year.
