Step 2: After you fill out the membership form- you’ll get a confirmation email with a link to rest your password to access your neon account. Click that link to select a username and password so you can log-in to Neon. Creating an account is the only way you can register for BORP Programs so please do so!
There are three types of memberships:
- Annual Membership: $240 – $20/month billed monthly
- Monthly Membership: $25 for one month
- Day Pass: $13 for one day of BORP Programming
You can easily renew your membership or change your membership level at any time in the Neon Portal. Note that when you change your membership level you will need to fill out the membership form again (sorry about that- it’s something we can’t change with the system we are using!)
No. The average annual cost to BORP for each participant is roughly $1,500. We will never pass on that full true cost to our community which is why we will still need to fundraise to make up the gap.
Yes! Scholarships are available for anyone who receives any government assistance, is on a fixed income, or for whom paying a membership fee would be a financial hardship that would cause them to have to meaningfully cut back in other areas of their life.
To receive a 50% or 100% scholarship code for an annual membership- email: info@borp.org
We are also providing a monthly scholarship code below that can be used for a free monthly membership. This code will expire on May 31, 2023. We ask that you only use this code if you meet the above criteria to qualify for scholarships:

Becoming a member allows you to participate in almost all BORP programs- virtual and in-person free of charge. Rock climbing continues to cost $10/session paid directly to the gym and certain trips may have additional costs.
We hope that becoming a member will encourage you to check out everything BORP has to offer.
Collecting this information helps us get a sense of who we are serving so we can work to better serve the entire disability community. This information also helps us demonstrate our impact to our government and foundation donors. All data is anonymized in reporting.
Going forward- we are asking our participants to register for our programs before attending. This will help BORP staff and volunteers best prepare for classes and practices. It will also mean that the hours BORP Staff normally spend entering admin data can be spent making our programs awesome. Lastly, it will mean you’ll get up to date information about your programs and have a handy way to keep track of everything that’s coming up.
You can see the full list of upcoming BORP programs here. Note that you’ll need a Neon account (see above) to view.
We ask anyone attending a BORP program fill out our membership form. We need everyone to sign our waiver and it is helpful for us to have a full record of everyone we serve: for grant reports and our own planning.
We have an option to select family member/friend/PCA for an annual membership. The cost of that membership is anywhere from $0 to an amount that feels comfortable to you.
We love having family and friends participate in our programs and creating a space where people with and without disabilities can recreate together.
Participants who require additional help accessing our programs will never have to pay a surplus when they come with a PCA.
