LA Fundraiser - Seb’s Recreation Center Donation Page

The Leadership Aurora Class 2026 has had the chance to see the heart of our community up close this year and together, we've chosen to dedicate our class project to supporting  Sēb’s Recreation Center (SRC). Sēb’s is much more than a fitness space - it's a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built on inclusion, community, and empowerment. Since opening its doors in January 2018, SRC has created a welcoming, fully accessible environment for individuals with special needs older adults, families, and caregivers. It's a place where people of all abilities come together to connect grow, and thrive through recreation fitness, arts, education, and meaningful social engagement. The center offers wheelchair-accessible fitness equipment, adaptive personal training, arts and crafts, sensory activities, board games, video games, puzzles, movies, and so much more.

With strong community momentum and the support of our class project, we have an opportunity to help transform the SRC facility so it can serve even more community members and serve them even better!

Our priorities for this project include:

1. 100% Accessibility - 100% Community - Improving mobility flow for wheelchair users; adding flexible, movable furniture and rolling storage; strengthening high-use community rooms; and enhancing kitchen storage and functionality.
2. Privacy & Dignity - Creating confidential, secure office and meeting areas to support private conversations, personnel needs, and one-on-one services.
3. Smarter, More Inclusive Use of Space - Reconfiguring therapeutic, fitness, arcade, and community zones so they work and flow cohesively, converting the current fitness room into a new community area; adding overhead storage; and exploring a dedicated art wall to celebrate creativity, as well as a custom mural.
