From the Mock Rock website:
The 2018 Mock Rock beneficiary is Adaptive Sports Clinics. Their mission statement: The Michigan Medicine Adaptive Sports Program aims to enhance the physical, social and emotional development for people with disabilities by providing quality, local and low-cost sports and recreation opportunities throughout the lifespan.
"As student-athletes, we all have the privilege of being able to participate in our chosen sport at a collegiate level. After finding an organization that provides children with disabilities the opportunity to participate in sports they otherwise would not be able to, we knew Adaptive Sports would be the perfect fit for our beneficiary of this year's Mock Rock show. Our committee felt that an organization that combines kids and sports would motivate student-athletes to come together and raise money for a collective cause." -- Christina Shabet, Cheer Team
