The SOAR Expo is presented by UC’s Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Division, May We Help, and The Bridge Adaptive Sports & Recreation.
UC’s PM&R Division works closely with physical, occupational, and speech therapists, psychologists, rehabilitation nurses, prosthetists and orthodontists, primary care physicians, and subspecialists throughout the greater Cincinnati area.
The Bridge Adaptive Sports & Recreation increases awareness of adapted sports and recreation, empowers existing programs, helps develop new programs/teams, provides and customizes adaptive equipment, and improves research to improve the experience of adaptive athletes.
It's no surprise, then, that there’s tons of overlap between our three organizations, and that we’ve been collaborating and supporting each other’s needs - on behalf of the people we serve - for years. SOAR is really just another extension of that collaboration.
As just one example, May We Help supports The Bridge when it needs a particular device in order for a team to form or evolve, or to allow an individual with specific needs to participate, like these examples:
Here’s a link to pics of a bike modification May We Help did for a Bridge athlete that allowed him to compete in the Flying Pig: https://www.dropbox.com/t/hslLmd8uLhV50KB9
And here’s a link showing devices and equipment May We Help provided the Bridge for its sled hockey participants: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq3NFC_Ocrf/
And here’s a link to a disc golf thrower we made for The Bridge too: https://www.instagram.com/p/CrYkEHDsd5H/
Also, the best way for vendors to get more information about the Soar Expo, or to register, is to visit: https://maywehelp.org/soar-expo/ or to simply call May We Help at 513-834-6443.
