Community

Adaptive opportunities, neighbors helping neighbors, and new traditions taking shape at the Warrior Center.

Welcome, friends

Our community keeps moving forward.

August brought meaningful support for adaptive sports, a chance to serve alongside our neighbors, and plenty of outdoor fun for Warrior Red. We are also looking ahead to two new seasonal traditions at the Warrior Center.

None of it happens without people who believe everyone deserves a place to participate and belong.

A generous investment in inclusion

$5,000 for Adapted Sports Equipment

The Minnesota Warriors have received a $5,000 grant from the Junior Volleyball Association to purchase adapted sports equipment. This equipment will make sports and recreation more accessible for individuals with disabilities and create new opportunities to participate, build confidence, develop skills, and enjoy being part of a team.

Thank you, JVA, for believing in our mission. We could not have done this without your continued support.

Riding Together for Autism Awareness

On Saturday, August 29, Minnesota Warriors volunteers were proud to support the Motorcycle Run organized by Blue Earth Post 89 Legion Riders and Graham Redemption Cycles LLC.

Warriors volunteers welcomed participants and stamped riders' cards at the stops along the six-stop route. The day also included lunch in Emmons and an auction supported by generous donors.

Proceeds supported autism awareness and autism-support bags for local police, fire, and EMS responders. We were honored to lend a hand and be part of another great example of communities working together.

Fun in the August sunshine

Warrior Red Takes It Outside

Warrior Red made the most of the beautiful weather by moving outside for games, laughter, friendship, and time together on the Warrior Center lawn.

Recreation is about more than the games—it is about friendship, belonging, and making room for everyone.

Coming to the Warrior Center

Two New Community Traditions

The Haunted Schoolhouse & Fall Bazaar is coming this October, followed by the Christmas Bazaar & Winter Celebration in December.

Exact dates, activities, and additional event information will be announced as plans develop.
