Two Major Industry Initiatives Coming Your Way
As we reach out this month, now officially halfway through the year, we hope to find you and your athlete community well, healthy and safe. We are confident that you continue to be strong, resilient and creative in bringing opportunities to your athletes. We are all learning together as we work through this "new normal" in so many aspects of our lives.
As we look toward the future, All In Sport Consulting is excited to bring you two new leading-edge industry initiatives - the 2020 Adapted Sport Leadership & Business Symposium (LABS 2020) on Oct. 15 and a first-of-its-kind adapted sport industry economic impact study. We look forward to launching these initiatives and encourage your participation in both as we all continue to propel our movement forward.

Launching a First-of-Its-Kind
Adapted Sport Economic Impact Study
Survey Coming Soon to Your Inbox!
All In Sport Consulting has teamed up with Huddle Up Group and professional national research agency Stitch Marketing Research to bring you the first-of-its-kind Adapted Sport Economic Impact Survey. This survey is intended to gather data related to the adapted sport movement and how it contributes to the U.S. sport economy.
We'll be sending the survey to valued members of the adapted sport industry via email in the coming weeks. Once you receive it, we encourage you to have your voice heard and complete the survey. Your participation in this research directly contributes to creating a data-driven understanding of the adapted sport industry’s influence and impact both regionally and nationally.
We realize that 2020 has brought about many unexpected challenges due to COVID-19 and its impact on the industry. But, by putting a stake in the ground today, we will be able to reflect on our past successes and track critical data points annually moving forward.
The survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. We will share the results of the survey during the LABS 2020 virtual conference on October 15. Register for LABS 2020 by clicking on the Register Now box above.

“Dawna’s consulting services have been instrumental in our organization’s survival, relaunch and advancement. Her guidance was invaluable as we navigated and overcame numerous hurdles within board development, marketing and community outreach. Her community connections, strong understanding of our mission and vision, and knowledge of adaptive sports has led us to new heights. During this process, I have had great pleasure in working with Dawna and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

In Memoriam
Back in late April, All In Sport highlighted 3x Paralympian Angela Madsen's solo row from Southern California to Honolulu, Hawaii. A couple months later, Angela lost her life at sea doing what she loved, rowing and pushing the boundaries as to how others define disability.
The adapted sport community was heartbroken to learn of Angela's passing. Her passion for the movement and mentoring others as they learn about adapted sport and all the possibilities were second to none.
Angela's death touched many, and was covered by far reaching news outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, NBC and the Today Show. Even in death, her legacy and passion continues to touch others.
You can read more about Angela's final journey at RowofLife.
