MAY 2026 / CFI Family & Friends Day at the Ballpark
For the third year in a row, CFI staff, families, friends, and supporters came together for a day at the ballpark to cheer on the Chicago White Sox. The event gave children and adults with disabilities, along with their families, the opportunity to enjoy an accessible and inclusive community outing while building connections and creating lasting memories.
Accessible recreational opportunities are an important part of community inclusion, and we are proud to help make experiences like this available to the individuals and families we serve. We had a fantastic time and look forward to continuing this tradition for years to come!
