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.

Neighbors helping neighbors
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.

Help bring these events to life
Volunteers, Sponsors, Donors & Vendors Needed
We are looking for team leaders, helping hands, local businesses, creative minds, vendors, monetary gifts, and useful in-kind donations. Together, we can build traditions that families will look forward to year after year.
