Eagle Mount Billings, an Adaptive Recreation Non-profit, Awarded Grant for New Equipment

Eagle Mount, the non-profit organization that provides adaptive recreation opportunities for disabled children and adults, recently celebrated the delivery of new adaptive equipment purchased using a $25,000 grant from The Hartford insurance company.

The organization, located in Billings, Montana, has 11 adaptive recreation programs including cycling, climbing, golf, soccer, and swimming.

Emily Bailey, an Americorps VISTA spokesperson,  said that Eagle Mount focuses “on the things that people with disabilities can do, rather than what they can’t do.” 11-year-old Arabelle Laedusaw, who has participated in the organization’s events since she was three, said that “being with Eagle Mount makes me feel like I can do anything and achieve anything. I can do what I want to do as a person, even though I have a disability.”
