Support Trails Without Limits At The Gala!

With your support we can continue to offer the first ever adaptive hike program in Westchester County Parks. So many of us enjoy Westchester’s beautiful trails, and Trails Without Limits provides access for individuals who may be living with cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, amputation, paraplegia, arthritis, cardiac issues, joint replacements, or have other mobility concerns. We can’t provide access to this valuable experience without you!

Thank you to our sponsors
