Thursday, September 17th, 6:00 PM

Cross Insurance Club, Gillette Stadium.

Join us to celebrate 31 years of AccesSportAmerica.

Our Athlete of the Year is Gary Piantedosi. We lost Gary this past spring but he’d enjoy how we celebrate him and all he’s done for AccesSport. He was a part of almost every adaptation we created and fabricated devices that revolutionize how we teach and train.

Our 2026 Honoree is Josh Kraft. He and the Patriots Foundation have been supporting us for 20 years and Josh has established himself as a great advocate for youth in Boston and especially our athletes.

Surprise sports figures from New England will help us honor Josh and Mariellen Burns will once again be our host.
