The Legacy Awards

Together, we can create a movement.

Imagine a Greater Hartford where movement isn't a privilege, but a joyful celebration for all. At OAH Strides, we work alongside Hartford Foundation for Public Giving to weave together a vibrant tapestry of programs that unlock the transformative power of athletics and arts for everyone.

Now, with the OAH Strides Legacy Awards, donors have the opportunity to become a cornerstone in building this future.

The Legacy Awards aren't just about recognition – they're a strategic partnership to fuel our impactful programs. Our donors' generosity empowers us to expand these programs, showcasing the life-changing possibilities of movement. As more community members witness these transformations, OAH Strides' mission of movement and inclusion will resonate louder than ever.

Donors are not just contributors; they are the architects of a more inclusive Greater Hartford, where everyone has the opportunity to move, connect, and thrive. We invite our community to join us as we leave a legacy in motion together.
