CHICAGO, IL — July 25, 2026 — As part of the 2026 WNBA All Star Weekend in Chicago, the Juice Hoops Foundation hosted the Neuro Heroes All Star Sports Camp, an inclusive celebration designed to bring neurodivergent children together through the power of sports, play, and community. The event provided children and families with an opportunity to experience a welcoming environment where they could build confidence, create new friendships, and celebrate the strengths that make every participant exceptional.

​

The All Star camp experience was designed to provide more than athletic instruction. Through a combination of adaptive sports, interactive games, movement based activities, and team challenges, campers were encouraged to participate, explore, and connect in ways that matched their individual comfort levels and abilities. The programming emphasized teamwork, communication, creativity, and self expression while creating an atmosphere where every child felt supported and included.

The Neuro Heroes All Star Sports Camp represented the Juice Hoops Foundation’s ongoing commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for neurodivergent youth and their families. By using sports as a platform for connection and personal growth, the event helped participants develop confidence, strengthen social connections, and experience the joy of being part of a team. The camp showcased that inclusion is not about changing the way children participate, but creating environments where every child has the opportunity to succeed.

​

Held during one of basketball’s biggest celebrations in Chicago, the camp highlighted the importance of expanding access and creating spaces where all athletes and participants are recognized for their abilities and potential. Through the Neuro Heroes All Star Sports Camp, the Juice Hoops Foundation continued its mission of empowering neurodivergent children to discover their strengths, embrace their individuality, and recognize that their greatest superpowers come from who they are.
