We are also very active in sporting events, fund raising, and amputee networking within Southern California and on a Nationwide basis. We also are helping to get other support groups started such as the new group in the Coachella Valley and a Parents of Children with Limb Loss support group in Loma Linda.

Social Media
In 2015, ACR launched a program of outreach in an effort to reach those with amputations who cannot attend monthly meetings. Through Skype we are able to bring professionals and others with amputations into their homes. This is an interactive format that allows for the Skype user to interact with the attendees and speakers.
Community Events
Sports and Recreation - Engaging children and adults who live with an amputation is the heart of recovery. ACR participates annually in sporting events such as the DisAbility Sports Festival and the Angel City Games.
Community Service Events - ACR can be found supporting our local Grand Terrace Lions 5K & 10K Fun Run Walk for Freedom, Inland Empire Disability Collabrative Expo, Highgrove Day, and Grand Terrace Day each year. These events not only provide an opportunity for ACR members to connect to their community, but supports our efforts to give back.
Camp No Limits - ACR sponsors amputee children and their families for a weekend at Camp No Limits in Big Bear. Dedicated to children with limb loss and limb deficiency, Camp No Limits provides a unique and empowering experience.
