Sportable is proud to announce the 2022 Tailgate Season will begin on Thursday, September 22 with Dominion Energy returning as the title sponsor for the fifth consecutive year. Sportable’s signature fundraising campaign will unite the community with a goal to raise critical funds and awareness for the non-profit’s mission to make sports accessible and inclusive for individuals with physical disabilities.

Sportable, Central Virginia’s premier accessible sports club, has proudly raised $116,110, surpassing the initial $100,000 fundraising goal set by volunteer Dan Schmitt’s “Kon-Tiki Challenge.” Schmitt named Sportable the beneficiary of his 4,800-mile unsupported bikepacking trek from Anacortes, WA to Boston, MA. All funds will directly benefit Sportable’s mission to make sports accessible and inclusive in Central Virginia.
