We are requesting basic information about your organization’s racial equity work. <br /> <br />5. How has your organization incorporated racial equity goals into your organizational goals? <br />Bridge II Sports first Board represented diversity in gender, ethnicity, and disability as the <br />population of people served by Bridge II Sport represent a variety of individuals from all <br />walks of life. Additionally, the Founder and CEO is a woman who lived with disability every <br />day of her life. I believe that is why Bridge II Sports has historically had staff, volunteers, <br />represent all. Currently, the Bridge II Sports team including full time and PT people <br />represent 14 people, 7 with disabilities, 7 without. Additionally, the team represents <br />female/male to a 50/50 ratio and diversity of ethnicity and religious beliefs. This is <br />something the Founder is very proud of. The history of inclusion continues from the <br />beginning. In the seventeen years of history, Bridge II Sports had an athlete when through <br />transgender medical procedure as a wheelchair user. Again, all have been welcomed and <br />included. <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 5B0A0BDD-DA6D-48E7-A65E-A0859BD61F52
