Why Support Milestone Miles…

Adaptive equipment plays a critical role in helping students of all abilities learn, move, and fully participate in their school environment. Unfortunately, many of these tools are costly and not always included in school budgets.

Milestone Miles helps bridge that gap—providing schools with the resources they need to better support their students and create opportunities for success. Your support directly impacts local classrooms and ensures more students have access to the tools they need to thrive.

Event Details

Milestone Miles is about showing up for our community when it matters most.
Over the past two years, we’ve raised more than $85,000 and supported 22 local individuals—including 15 children and 7 adults—helping cover critical medical-related expenses and easing the burden families face during difficult times.
In 2026, we’re expanding our impact. This year, Milestone Miles will give back to our local schools, helping fund adaptive equipment that supports students of all abilities in the classroom, in therapy spaces, and on the playground.
It’s still about creating change—but now that impact extends beyond individuals to entire school communities.
Every mile makes a difference.
Milestone Miles will take place on October 3, 2026 at the Williston Area Recreation Center on the East basketball courts.
