CHASE is a
student organization at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill which has been founded for the purpose of
providing those
with
disabilities an equal opportunity for recreation and
sport.
Our
objectives are: to provide those with disabilities opportunities for
enjoyable and healthy physical activity year-round, to promote greater
awareness of
the abilities
and skills of those with disabilities, and to inform those around campus and
within the community of ways to get involved with those with
physical disabilities through adaptive sports
and recreation.
CHASE will
also provide students without disabilities an opportunity to befriend those
with disabilities without any fear or apprehension and to come to
understand the struggles that those with
disabilities have. One of our goals is
to educate those who aren't disabled about the struggles of being disabled
by having
them participate in different adaptive sports as well - we feel that this
type of awareness is necessary to promote an understanding of all people
(handicapped and non-handicapped) on campus and in the
world.
