OUR LEGACY
Real programs. Real people. Nearly 20 years of community impact.

SUPPORTING THE
DEAF SPORTS COMMUNITY.
DSA has supported school athletic uniforms at the Texas School for the Deaf; Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind; California School for the Deaf, Riverside; Phoenix School for the Deaf; and Marlton School for the Deaf.
DSA also donated sports balls and water bottles to communities outside the United States. Specific destinations and dates have not yet been confirmed.
Our history also includes Deaf Expo activities, community fundraising events, and a DSA–LAPD basketball event. These historical activities reflect our long-standing community involvement, not current sponsorship arrangements.
