Together CU Partners with Disabled Athlete Sports Association

The Disabled Athlete Sports Association (DASA) is excited to announce a partnership with Together Credit Union. As a part of the partnership, Together Credit Union becomes the official sponsor of DASA's Summer competition teams and makes an organizational commitment to support DASA's volunteer needs during select practices, competitions, and special events. DASA hosts over 500 programming events annually, many of which require volunteers to provide an exceptional experience to our athletes.

"Partnering with an established, community-centered non-profit organization like Together Credit Union, which prioritizes connecting resources and support to those in need, expands DASA’s geographic reach to impact more people throughout the St. Louis Region in need of our programming and services", said Kelly Behlmann, Founder and Executive Director of DASA.

“DASA athletes are some of the most remarkable individuals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Their tenaciousness to achieve more than society believes they can do is as inspiring as it is motivating. We hope this partnership enables DASA to expand awareness of their services, outreach in underserved communities, and innovation on and off the field in the St. Louis Metro Area,” said Tom Kraus, Chief Operating Officer at Together Credit Union.

Since 1997, DASA’s comprehensive adaptive training and sports programs have enhanced our athletes abilities to gain strength, endurance, increased motor skills, confidence, and improved emotional well-being. During DASA’s 25-years of operations we’ve supported athlete empowerment by increasing their physical abilities to benefit from the positive impact of having an active lifestyle. Many DASA athletes have gone on to become skilled recreational, competitive, and Paralympic athletes. Support from individuals and organizations within the community allow DASA to continue to provide an unmatched experience for these children, adults, and families by expanding program offerings, purchasing new equipment, and creating an environment that builds strength, self-confidence, courage, independence, and a supportive social network.
