Most of us recognize that physical activity is important to our health. Due to disability or medical issues, many in our community face barriers that prevent them from participating in traditional exercise programs and recreation. Consequently, they have multiple secondary health issues. Not due to their disability, but because of the LACK OF OPPORTUNITY.
STAR offers a variety of sports, recreation, and physical activity programs for individuals of all ages and abilities through our Adaptive and Inclusive Recreation, Para Sports, and Specialized Exercise Programs. Our new facility provides access to adaptive strength and conditioning equipment that is not offered elsewhere in the community. The STAR Center is first and foremost a HEALTH INITIATIVE.
We Remove the Barriers to participation.
We Create Opportunity.
So that ALL members of our community can be HEALTHIER.
More than 80 % of those who struggle with physical activity have an invisible disability. 1 in 3 families in our community have a family member impacted. We ask YOU to join us in our mission by becoming a SPONSOR of the STAR Center. With your support we are confident that we can improve the health and quality of life in the LA Crosse area for so many.
In appreciation of your support, we will promote your business and acknowledge your gift at the Center, on social media, on the web and at our events.

Help maintain our Adaptive Sport and Recreation Equipment
STAR Center provides adaptive sports chairs, frame runners, race wheelchairs, hockey sleds and protective equipment. We provide all the balls and rackets for our recreational programs. Access to equipment is a major barrier to participation. Your Support can help eliminate that barrier.
