April marks the beginning of one of the most inspirational events of the year – DSNWK’s Unified Softball.

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. Often times children with disabilities are delegated to the sidelines, rarely having the chance to play. Unified Softball offers them the opportunity to finally get out of the stands and onto the field.

Area teams participate in several days of fun and true sportsmanship. The games are scheduled for April 26, May 3, May 10 and May 17. All games will be held at the Dusty Glassman Fields in Hays starting at 1:30 p.m.

After providing 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.
