Join Our Team

Casey’s Clubhouse provides inclusive baseball and recreational opportunities for individuals with disabilities. With an accessible baseball field, playground, seasonal camps, and year-round programs like adaptive fitness, it creates a welcoming community for children and adults with special needs and their families. Many of my students have benefited from the opportunities Casey’s Clubhouse provides, and I hope my nephew Nash will one day have the same chance. Because at the end of the day, everyone deserves a place to play.

Your donations and positive vibes will help keep programs like this running and will add a little inspiration to my runs toward something bigger. 


Description

There are two incredible opportunities to support both Casey’s Clubhouse and Always B Smiling, each working toward empowering athletes to achieve their dreams. Meet Destiny—a young athlete with a radiant smile and a zest for life. Born with special needs, she longed to cross the finish line of a marathon herself, a goal that once seemed impossible.

Casey’s Clubhouse Fundraiser

This year, Casey’s Clubhouse invites athletes and supporters of all levels to participate in various race events: the full marathon, half marathon, relay, 5K, Kid's Walk, Toddler Trot, and Pet Race. By running and raising funds for Casey’s Clubhouse participants directly support athletes with special needs, helping provide accessible sports opportunities and inclusive community engagement.

Always B Smiling Partnership Fundraiser

In a special collaboration, Casey's Clubhouse AND Always B Smiling are raising funds to expand its adaptive stroller marathon program, which allows athletes like Destiny to experience the thrill of crossing the finish line. By running or supporting this program, donors help make marathons accessible for athletes who would otherwise watch from the sidelines.

The adaptive stroller relay teams are working together to raise funds for both amazing south hills programs. Last year, 6 athletes like Destiny took on the full marathon in their adaptive strollers, each feeling the power of community and inclusion.

By supporting either Casey’s Clubhouse, Always B Smiling, or both, you’re joining a powerful community dedicated to making dreams possible.

Let's run together—every step supports a dream!

Your contribution to an adaptive stroller relay team will help us as we continue to grow and support programs for the kids and adults with special needs across the south hills of Pittsburgh and beyond.
