A Community of Love and Fun
Welcome to Made2Thrive
Made2Thrive is the only organization in Wise County and surrounding areas that focuses on the physical, emotional, and social needs of individuals and families with special needs.
At Made2Thrive, we believe in the transformative power of sports. Our special needs baseball group is dedicated to providing a unique and inclusive environment where individuals of all abilities can experience the joy and camaraderie of America's favorite pastime.
At the heart of Made2Thrive is a simple yet profound mission: to create a safe and supportive space where individuals with special needs can not only play baseball, but also develop vital life skills, build self-confidence, and form lasting friendships. We understand that each individual is unique, and we celebrate those differences as strengths that contribute to the rich tapestry of our community.
Our baseball program goes beyond the game itself. It's about fostering a sense of belonging, promoting teamwork, and instilling a sense of accomplishment in every participant. Our experienced coaches are dedicated to adapting the game to suit each individual's abilities, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate and shine.
Made2Thrive is more than just a baseball group – we're a family. We provide a strong support network for players and their families, offering a sense of community and understanding that extends far beyond the field. Our regular events, gatherings, and activities create opportunities for connection, growth, and shared experiences.
Whether you're a player, parent, volunteer, or a supporter, there's a place for you at Made2Thrive. We invite you to be part of our inclusive and uplifting community, where every achievement is celebrated, and every individual is cherished.
