Grant from Berkshire Life Charitable Foundation Increases Scholarships and Financial Aid
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. - Berkshire South Regional Community Center (BSRCC) plans to expand its adaptive fitness programs and establish a scholarship and financial aid fund for those with disabilities. A recent award from the Berkshire Life Charitable Foundation makes it possible to increase access to adaptive programming for people with special needs.

BSRCC has a fully accessible aquatic center and adaptive motion trainer machines in the fitness center. As an organization dedicated to fitness, wellness, and access for all, BSRCC is committed to continuing its adaptive fitness programs and increasing its aqua fitness classes for those with special needs.
