About Sports 4
All Foundation
Sports 4 All Foundation has been in existence for over 12 years
operating privately through personal resources of our Founder,
Kris K. Salisbury. It was her understanding of the needs,
experience in fundraising, volunteering and knowledge of the
business world which created the unique service of Sports 4 All.
Kris’s vision, hopes and dreams for the Foundation came from her
life experiences.
"As
Founder and Executive Director of Sports 4 All Foundation, I
want to thank you for showing interest in and taking the time to
read about our agency. I have been asked repeatedly why we
decided to do what we do as well as why other sports/recreation
agencies don’t...
...here’s why:
I was amazed when attending
sporting events for people with disabilities to see
that the athletes did not have tennis shoes to run in, helmets
and mittens to snow ski or snowboard in, protective gel gloves
for athletes in wheelchairs, and the list goes on. Most people
with disabilities rarely complain about not having the equipment
they deserve because just being present at a recreational
activity and being able to socialize and feel accomplished is
status quo. I believe they deserve a fair playing field and know
how wonderful it would be if everybody could have access to
appropriate sporting equipment. Sports 4 All actually provides
the appropriate equipment needed specifically for people with
disabilities. Our partners, families and friends are as
compassionate as I in filling this void in our communities. We
strive to uphold our Mission and bring to the community the
abilities of athletes with disabilities. Sports 4 All Foundation
is not like any agencies, we are unique and innovative in our
business practices. To our knowledge, we are the only
organization doing what we do. We provide a full circle benefit
to all who touch our agency and want the opportunity to provide
that benefit to you." - Kris Salisbury, Executive
Director
With Kris's experience as a 20 year
veteran Banker, retail sporting goods store owner, corporate

it was only natural…Sports 4 All Foundation was created. Join Kris
