The City of Toledo's Youth Programming Grant was pivotal in the development of the "I Can" Program with a donation of $15,000 in the summer of 2023.

Thank you, Toledo!

The DUBS Foundation is run by Austin and Nick Weber, who have been imperative team members since ODA's founding. The Webers build skate ramps and other skatable obstacles for class use and at the D.I.Y. park in Toledo.
