On Wednesday, January 21, the Elmbrook Education Foundation (EEF) accepted a $2,000 donation from the Let’s Skate Foundation in support of the Unified Sports Program in Elmbrook. This contribution supports EEF’s broader commitment to raise $75,000 to sustain and expand Unified Sports opportunities for students across the district.

Unified Sports brings together students with and without intellectual disabilities on the same teams, fostering teamwork, leadership, and mutual respect through shared athletic experiences. The program helps build authentic friendships, strengthens school pride, and promotes a culture of inclusion throughout the Elmbrook community.

“Unified Sports isn’t just about playing together—it’s about belonging together,” said Kayla Lees, Unified Sports Advisor.

The Let’s Skate Foundation was founded in 2021 by Aidan Liu, who combined his passion for speedskating with a desire to give back to the community. Let’s Skate provides free opportunities for children to try speedskating and affordable options for continued participation, increasing accessibility to the sport for youth.

“Unified Sports has had a profound impact on the community,” said Aidan Liu, founder of Let’s Skate. “The mission of Let’s Skate is to increase accessibility to speedskating for youth. As an Elmbrook community member, we wanted to give back to the school district that nurtured our foundation and help create opportunities for growth, inclusion, and athletic development. By fostering a supportive environment, we aim to empower the next generation and strengthen the community that helped shape us.”
