Take a look at this great article from The Signal Santa Clarita Valley highlighting our recent Wheelchair Sports Festival!

Triumph hosts ninth annual Wheelchair Sports Festival

The event was the first WSF event in three years and had dozens of sports available for all at the Santa Clarita Sports Complex.

Hundreds of athletes joined for the two-day event, with some trying new things for the first time while others flashed their skill.

Bartolome was a blur on the basketball court. Even though he was one of the smallest players, he’d be seen flying by defenders in transition and sinking shots.

“Days like this are very special,” said Bartolome. “Everyone here is gathered for the same causes, which is staying active and playing sports. It’s great to see everyone here participating and trying new sports they’ve probably never tried before.”

Bartolome has spina bifida, which has stunted his growth.

The 21-year-old has not let that stop him from being active and doing things people say he can’t do.

“I just want to be thankful for Triumph Foundation for hosting events like this,” said Bartolome. “These are once every year and it’s always fun to come over here.”

The festival is one of Triumph’s biggest events and even after being on hold for three years due to COVID-19, the event still had a turnout of more than 700 visitors and 142 volunteers.

“It felt great to be back doing the festival again,” said Skinner. “Best part was we had new participants that had never come to any event before.”
