“Everybody Plays” Brings IU Athletics, Bloomington Special Needs Communities Together

Bloomington, Ind. – Something was missing from IU Women's Soccer player Allison Jorden's life a year ago.

An advocate for people with disabilities dating back to her time at Scottsdale (Ariz.) Chaparral High School, Jorden no longer had that regular interaction with the marginalized population as a freshman in Bloomington. Jorden set out to address that this year, and with the support from the IU Excellence Academy staff, she has managed to do just that.

"Everybody Plays" is a sports program created by Jorden and supported by the IU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and the IU Excellence Academy.
