HEAR FROM OUR HEROS

“HERO gives me an opportunity to come out and still compete when i am in a wheelchair, and to have a good workout.”

John, Client of Abilities Beyond

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you. I am always filled with
incredible joy and gratitude for the opportunity to attend the US Open.
Your generosity in providing tickets is more than just a gift, it truly helps
ease the weight of my mental challenges as a veteran.

"We at St. Joseph's School for the Deaf want to thank you for such a great clinic.... You taught on so many different levels and everyone had a chance in succeeding to their own potential. Setting individual goals for the children is hard to master but your staff did it with ease."

"The HERO staff are all highly sensitive to the special needs of our youth and are very patient and understanding as they expose them to a new experience in playing tennis. They have a real knack for teaching kids to feel successful right away, which is crucial for youth who have serious self-esteem issues. During the initial session, our residents came in looking indifferent, bored, and even fearful. Within a short time, the residents realized they could do something new and really began to enjoy the experience."

"Our program was incredibly fortunate to have the HERO organization visit us and teach our students some basic tennis skills... The HERO, Inc. personnel came in and provided our students with a wonderful introduction to tennis. The activity was designed so that every student could practice at their ability, and the staff were incredibly patient and willing to modify skill practice as needed so that all kids could feel successful... We could not have had a more positive experience with HERO, Inc., and would love to have a chance to work with their organization in the future."
