Welcome to the Skydive Challenge!
The aim of the Skydive Challenge is to raise much needed funds to support the important work we do in providing social, recreational and sporting opportunities for people with disabilities.
Research shows there is a 30% participation gap in sport, recreation and social programs between people with a physical disability and their able bodied peers. Our aim is to narrow this gap. We want children and adults with a physical disability to have the same opportunities as their able bodied peers. Having a disability should not impact on your ability to lead a full and happy life.
The Challenge
The Skydive Challenge is an event which challenges people to confront their fears and jump from a plane at 14,000ft while raising funds for Rebound WA.
The main aims of the Skydive Challenge are to:
- Raise much needed funds to help us continue the work we do; and
- Raise awareness of the work we do in the community.
How can the funds I raise help?
- $1,000 – Represents the average cost of a young child with a disability and their family to attend a recreational camp for the weekend to participate in a fantastic range of inclusive activities and games.
- $2,000 – Can allow a Rebound WA staff member and athlete to attend a rehabilitation hospital to introduce in-patients to the world of disability sports and the opportunities available.
- $5,000 – Represents the cost of a hand-cycle we loan to children and adults to regain their independence following a life changing injury – it starts them on their journey of building a new life
