Amy Smith
Director of Donor Experience
How long have you been with Sportable: Since December 2020
Hometown: Cincinnati, OH
Family: Husband Brian and three adult children: Evan, Elena, and Hannah
Hobbies: Playing pickleball, watching wheelchair basketball, thrift shopping.
How did you get involved with Sportable? My youngest child, Hannah, was born with spina bifida and has been using a wheelchair since she was five years old. At age 11, she started trying adaptive sports with Sportable including tennis, rock climbing, road racing, and wheelchair basketball. While everything she tried was enjoyable, she loved the team aspect of wheelchair basketball and threw herself into that sport.
Through the years playing with the Sportable Spokes, Hannah not only developed as an athlete, but also gained friendships, travel opportunities, confidence, independence, and leadership skills. In 2025, she graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater where she played women's wheelchair basketball for two years—a dream that wouldn’t have been possible without Sportable.
Hannah’s life has been transformed in many positive ways by Sportable and adaptive sports.
Because Sportable has deeply impacted our family, sharing the Sportable story with our community is a dream job for me.
