Reflecting on Impact: are-able’s Sponsorship of Kyeema’s Aquatics Day at the 2024 Tri State Games

In November 2024, are-able proudly sponsored Kyeema Support Services to deliver the are-able Aquatics Day as part of the annual Tri State Games a vibrant celebration of inclusive sport and community, held at the Portland Leisure and Aquatic Centre.

The Tri State Games bring together athletes with disability from across Victoria, South Australia, and New South Wales to compete, connect, and celebrate ability. The Aquatics Day was a key highlight filled with cheers, determination, and moments of pure joy.

“are-able Aquatics Day was a true celebration of inclusion, connection, and courage,” said Kathryn Parsons, Site Manager of are-able Portland. “Being able to support Kyeema and help bring this event to life was an incredible privilege. It’s a reminder of the impact we can make when we invest in the communities we live and work in.”

As a values-led not-for-profit, are-able is committed to building stronger regional communities by supporting initiatives that create opportunity, connection, and belonging. Sponsoring the 2024 are-able Aquatics Day is just one example of how we’re helping champion inclusive experiences beyond employment supporting people of all abilities to thrive in every part of life.

We thank Kyeema Support Services and the local Portland community for delivering such a meaningful and memorable event, and we look forward to continuing our support for the Tri State Games in years to come.
