| Ways to help |
VolunteerVolunteers become mentors, or “buddies”, to our participants, helping to provide strong role models for our members. In return, those volunteers who assist with the activities learn valuable lessons in character development, respect, compassion and build positive perceptions of individuals with disabilities. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer to participate in events and activities, we’d love to have you join us. |

We see the bond and friendships developed between participants and the volunteers evolve into a positive experience that impacts both groups, enriching the lives of all those involved and strengthening our community. |

| About us | In the spring of 2004, a few Sandwich Little League volunteers organized a small group of physically and developmentally disabled children to play baseball for a six week period during the little league season. Deemed a huge success by everyone, many of the parents expressed the need for a program that offered year-round recreational and social opportunities for their children. After months of planning and discussion, husband and wife Kelvin Ing and Amy Lipkind, who have no special needs children of their own, incorporated the Cape Cod Challenger Club in August 2005 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. What began with a handful of baseball players has now grown into a year-round athletic, recreational and social activities program for children and young adults with disabilities. With over 300 participants, and nearly as many volunteers, the Cape Cod Challenger Club now shares its own facility with the Cape Cod Collaborative. |
