What We Support
Grant Spotlight: Friends of Des Moines Parks
With the support of an HDR Foundation grant to Friends of Des Moines Parks, the City of Des Moines Parks and Recreation has introduced adaptive soccer, flag football, basketball and baseball for youth of all ability levels.
The grant funded adaptive sports equipment to launch the program, giving youth new recreational opportunities that build confidence and bring the joy of playing sports with other kids.
“It really does change the community and makes a lasting impact,” said Andy McCoy, computational fluid dynamics lead, who sponsored the grant for new adaptive sports equipment. “It makes me proud of the company I work for.”
