Write a commentAs many individuals in our community know, and for those who are not aware, for the past 12 years, Greg Callen has worked endlessly developing Move Along Inc. as a premier non for profit organization focusing on enabling individuals the opportunity to reintegrate into our society using adaptive sports as the platform for engagement.
In January of 2021, after many great years of changing the lives of individuals, as well as their friends and families, Greg made a pivotal decision as founder to resign from the board of Move Along Inc. In twelve years the organization grew from a small group of 5-7 people playing wheelchair basketball, to a large business offering recreational inclusive programming in wheelchair basketball, kayaking, sled hockey, youth wheelchair basketball, wheelchair tennis, horsemanship, handcycling, family aquatics, and Inclusive Sports Education in Schools.
Move Along Inc. is in a position to be managed by a larger entity such as a college or large health care center. It was a fulfilling and passionate venture that enabled so many people to improve themselves with the tools and opportunity we were able to provide.
With this success, and his intense passion to help others, Greg made the decision to continue using sports as a platform to provide individuals an opportunity to find happiness, involvement, and ultimately a reason to be an active community member. Today, and moving into the future, New York Adaptive Golf will find the means and adaptations a person may need to be involved in the game of golf with their friends and families. To Greg, golf is a life sport, and as he grows older, he knows he can continue this sport into his later years of life with those he loves!
“I have recently started a new non-profit, New York Adaptive Golf, with the mission of enabling individuals with physical and cognitive limitations to broaden their community engagement and quality of life through the use of adaptive equipment and devices with a focus on the game of golf to promote such well being. I am looking forward to seeing where this organization grows and could not do it without the support of Stone Creek Golf Course, William Weimer, Amanda Brownell, Lisa Sova, Robbie Malone, Kristen’s Kitchen at Battle Island, NYAG Event Planning Committee, and our community, for that I'm eternally grateful.” - Greg Callen
To kick off New York Adaptive Golf, a Chicken BBQ with the support of Woodchuck Saloon will be held on April 17th! Pre-sale tickets are available at Woodchuck Saloon or by contacting Greg Callen at (315) 374-0082.
