Hosts Colleen Dougherty and Pat Addabbo share the inspiring journey of OAS—from its grassroots beginnings to serving over 2,500 adaptive experiences annually. Join us as we discuss the impact of adaptive sports, the power of community support, and how OAS is breaking barriers to outdoor access. Whether it’s skiing at Mt.
