The Center for Individuals with Physical Challenges

🎨 Welcome, Veterans, to The Center 🎨

We were honored to welcome Veterans to The Center for the Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System Creative Arts Competition at the Hardesty Adaptive Sports Complex.

From art and creative writing to dance, drama and music, Veterans showcased their incredible talents. Thank you to the Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System for partnering with us, to everyone who participated and most importantly, to all who have served our country.

We're grateful to have you at The Center!

Camp may be over, but the impact continues!

As part of Camp Get Centered, campers made Get Well Cards for Ronald McDonald House to bring a little extra encouragement to families staying there. We recently delivered the cards, and the front desk staff were so excited to receive them!

This was just one of several service projects campers took part in this summer, including assembling supply kits for Street School, creating “Adopt Me” bandanas for Puppy Haven Rescue, planting succulents for Grace Living Center and making Meet the Teacher bags for their teachers.

We’re excited to join Tulsa Area United Way THIS SATURDAY for the Downtown Deco Challenge!

As a proud United Way partner, The Center will be walking through the balloon arch to help kick off the 2026 fundraising campaign and celebrate the incredible work United Way does to support nonprofits and our community!

We'll see you THIS SATURDAY at the Downtown Deco Challenge!

Join us under the balloon arch at 6th & Main as we kick off our annual fundraising drive and announce our 2026 goal! 🎈

Enjoy free breakfast tacos, coffee, and snow cones, meet with some of our wonderful nonprofit partners, and help us start off the 2026 fundraising season!

Price Family Properties will donate $100 for every person (and pet) who goes through the balloon arch, so bring your family, friends, and pups!

The Center Twisters Take the Court!

Last weekend, The Center Twisters Wheelchair Tennis Team competed in a one-day tournament at Philcrest Tennis & Racquet Club in Jenks, bringing athletes together for a great day of competition and community.

Competition Results:

🏆 Men’s A Singles Champion: Anthony Meadows
🥈 Runner-Up: Darryl Rahn

🏆 Men’s B Singles Winner: John Rutledge
🥈 Runner-Up: Larry Salyer

🏆 Men’s B Doubles Winners: Daniel Witwer & Darryl Rahn

A special thank you to Anthony Meadows, The Center’s Adaptive Sports Coordinator, for helping organize and put on the competition, as well as to Russell Warner, Tournament Director, for his partnership in making the event possible.

We’re also grateful to the volunteers who helped throughout the day, the Center staff who came out to support our athletes and the friends and supporters who joined us to cheer on The Center Twisters.

One of the best moments at the 2026 National Boccia Championships in Iowa was reconnecting with Steven, a former member of The Center and Twisters athlete who moved to Idaho earlier this year. It was also great to see a familiar face — Mac, who served as Steven's ramp assistant, alongside him.

No matter where life takes you, you'll always be part of The Center family!

🏅 What a weekend for The Center Twisters at the 2026 USA Boccia Nationals in Council Bluffs, Iowa!

Congratulations to our medalists:
🥇 Sherri – National Champion, BC6 Women's Division
🥈 Sherri & Bryan – Silver Medalists, BC6 Pairs
🥉 Tempus – Bronze Medalist, BC6 Women's Division

A huge shoutout to Austin, Lee, and Victoria for representing The Center Twisters and competing with determination all weekend long. We're proud of every athlete and grateful to our staff who supported the team every step of the way.

Congratulations, Twisters!
