That’s a wrap on Camp Get Centered Fall Break! 🍁

Last week, The Center Youth enjoyed an action-packed break full of fun and adventure! Campers explored the Oklahoma Aquarium , got creative with arts and crafts, played adaptive sports like power soccer, and put their problem-solving skills to the test with campus scavenger hunts during the Center Mystery Challenge. To top it off, campers joined the All-Comers Wheelchair Tennis Clinic at LaFortune Park Tennis Center on Friday.

Rain or shine, it was a fall break to remember!

A big thank you to the Oklahoma Aquarium and LaFortune Park Tennis Center for making it so special.

This morning, The Center members visited over 15 informative stations covering blood pressure, nutrition, health literacy, stress management, preventive screenings, and community resources. It was a fantastic opportunity for members to ask questions, deepen their health and wellness knowledge, and connect with local support.

Thank you, , for bringing the Centered Around Health Fair to The Center today!

Special thanks to our community partners for joining us: Ability Resources, Total Care Orthotics & Prosthetics, 101 Mobility of Tulsa, Ascension St. John Stroke Group, Tulsa Health Department, and Tulsa Rehabilitation Hospital.

Congratulations to JD Young’s Copy Diem team on 2nd Place at Center Experience 2026! 🥈 We’re grateful for JD Young’s support as an Awareness Sponsor and for being such a great community partner. A special shoutout to Fernando for joining us as a Center Ambassador for the first time this year!

The Center Experience is an incredible team-building event that brings together more than 20 teams from across the Tulsa region to experience adaptive activities and gain a greater appreciation for the everyday challenges faced by individuals with physical disabilities.
JD Young was proud to be one of the sponsors of this amazing event, and our team brought home 2nd Place in this year's competition! Beyond the friendly competition, it was a meaningful opportunity to build connections, strengthen teamwork, and give back to the community we’re proud to call home.
We’re grateful to be part of such a wonderful experience and proud of our team for showing up, having fun, and making a difference!
