Funds raised by Krazy Kosci Klimb teams and their families, friends, colleagues and clients support the Sports Programs and accessible gym at Cerebral Palsy Alliance. 

The funds ensure these programs continue and offer young people the opportunity to attend these programs at either no cost or minimal cost.

Helping young people access the sporting programs and the accessible gyms at Cerebral Palsy Alliance assists them with increased flexibility, mobility, muscle strength and stamina.  Together with the social benefits and increased self-esteem, these facilities bring like-minded individuals together to improved their quality of life and go on to achieve great things.

The Sports Program for young people is unique to Cerebral Palsy Alliance and without the funds from the Krazy Kosci Klimb these may not be possible.
