Christmas in July 5k Kickoff
Christmas in July is July 15th-20th! We’ll have our wheelchair wash, holiday treats, and other Christmas themed fun throughout the week to celebrate the launch of the 2024 Reindeer Run & Roll 5k and raise money for the CORE Foundation. Get in the Christmas spirit with us and mark your calendars for this year’s event, taking place Saturday, December 7th.
CORE & NeuroHope
We recently had the opportunity to host the NeuroHope team at CORE! NeuroHope is a guided exercise facility in Indianapolis, similar to CORE. This was a great way to connect and collaborate with like-minded professionals in the field as we teamed up during training sessions to learn from one another. A great experience for all! We look forward to working with them again in the future!
Cooking with CORE Nourish
The CORE Nourish team hosted their first ever cooking class and it was quite the success! Thank you to all that signed up to join us as we worked to bring awareness to adaptive cookware available, how cooking can be fun at home, and that you can still enjoy a yummy meal while living an active and healthy lifestyle. Everyone had a great time learning to make a delicious three course Italian meal from scratch. We hope to see you at the next one!
Summer Six Pack Challenge Winners
Congratulations to team Malerie & Brandon for getting their team name on the Golden Rubber Duckie trophy! And congratulations to Jacen M., our individual winner, for getting the highest score with over 1,200 points (that’s a lot of core work)!

CORE C.H.A.M.P.
This month’s CORE C.H.A.M.P. is Dana! Dana is always willing to lend a helping hand, has been a great advocate for the CORE Foundation, and has so many great events in the works.
As this month’s C.H.A.M.P., Dana has selected John Michael as our CORE Client C.H.A.M.P.! JM has been a dedicated CORE client since 2016. He gives 100% in every session and continues to pursue other therapies in an effort to be his best self. Recently, he walked on the treadmill for an entire session, has been tapping into his trunk more, and has shown more upper body control and engagement.
Keep up the great work!
