St. Louis residents can watch one final practice of sled hockey athletes who hope to compete for Team USA before heading off to the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games at the “Skate with Team
USA” event. Attendees can meet the athletes including St. Louis’ own Paralympic
gold medalist and ESPY winner Steven Cash. Following the team practice, fans
can participate in live sport demonstrations including biathlon and sled hockey. The event is free and open to the public.
The Disabled Athlete Sports Association (DASA), based in St. Peters, Missouri, is raising awareness for the opportunities it provides youth and adults with physical disabilities to participate in recreational and competitive sports. To support this program, St. Louis BP station owners have combined forces to launch a fundraising campaign. Now through November 15, St. Louis-area residents can purchase a U.S. Paralympics bracelet for $1 at participating BP sites. All of the proceeds will go to DASA.
