Team Asa

Team ASA is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities take part in social and recreational activities. The organization aims to create joyful, memorable experiences through camaraderie, giving participants opportunities to build confidence, develop a sense of belonging, and connect with a supportive team and extended family. Team ASA works to make inclusive participation possible and invites individuals to request assistance to find activities that suit them.

Its offerings and community events include adaptive recreation and social experiences, along with opportunities to gather, celebrate, and make friends. Recent activities featured an aquarium adventure, a holiday party at the Centers for Habilitation, and a painting event centered on laughter and friendship. Team ASA also promotes the Polar Bear Plunge at The Lakes, an event whose proceeds benefit Tempe’s adaptive recreation programs. A pre-plunge gathering includes registration, T-shirt pickup, a silent auction, food, and drinks, with a portion of purchases donated to Team ASA.
