We host sports clinics for basketball, soccer, tennis, and swimming. We host events such as our Annual 5K, Share the Love Concert, Charlottetown Hops FC Night, and the Charlotte Knights Community Corner. We participate in local parades and visit after school programs, local Girl Scout and Cub Scout Troops, and local run clubs, to bring the community together and grow awareness and acceptance for disability inclusion. Let's Include Landon® started with one simple hope: that every child - no matter their abilities - feels seen, included, and truly connected. What we've built so far is powered by love, by belief, and by the people who have stood by us. We have our inclusive basketball camp coming up June 29-July 2. Your participation helps make events like these possible. And helps us continue to spread our message of inclusion and kindness.
