Bridge2Sports is a Durham-based organization serving the Triangle region that focuses on adaptive sports. It aims to remove barriers to participation by ensuring access regardless of ability, diagnosis, or equipment, and it builds connections across the adaptive sports landscape through collaborations with parks and recreation departments, schools, veteran groups, clubs, and community organizations. The organization hosts and supports programs such as boccia, cycling, and goalball, while working alongside partners delivering wheelchair tennis, power soccer, quad rugby, and other adaptive activities; it also loans equipment to reduce barriers and prioritizes collaboration over competition. Bridge2Sports promotes inclusive school-based programming through Everybody Plays, seeking to have children of all abilities experience sport together from an early age. In addition to its focus on sport participation, the organization emphasizes confidence, health, independence, and community, and in 2019 formed a partnership with Funds2Orgs to support micro-enterprise development in developing countries.
