DSNWK

Developmental Services of Northwest Kansas’s Unified Softball is set to take the field.

Unified Softball is a unique opportunity for children with disabilities and their non-disabled peers to join together and participate in a game of softball. Oftentimes children with disabilities are relegated to the sidelines, rarely having the chance to play. Unified Softball offers them the opportunity to finally get out of the stands and on to the field.

Area teams participate in several days of fun and true sportsmanship. The first game is set for Sunday, April 24, at 1:30 p.m. at the Dusty Glassman Fields, 4th and Milner, Hays.

Money raised for the games will provide each child with a team shirt and trophy.

All additional funds raised will go into DSNWK’s Children’s Special Needs Fund. The Children’s Special Needs Fund helps families who have children with disabilities. Families who have limited resources can access this fund to help pay for the high costs of equipment and other needs associated with their child’s disability.
