About Paragames Breda
Paragames Breda is a multi-sport event. Since the initiation of the Foundation ParaGamesBreda in 2004, the organisers make an effort to make sports available for people with a physical disability. By joining sports, persons with a physical limitation will become more confident and will experience the joy of being active with others. The foundation exists of solely volunteers of which six are board members. Financial support is received from the county of Breda, the province of Noord-Brabant and sponsors.
