ATASCADERO — Local athlete and entrepreneur Trevor Dealy is making a difference in the lives of his teammates and fellow athletes through a successful fundraiser benefiting the North County Adaptive Sports and Recreation Program (NCASARP). Dealy, founder of Trev’s Trades, an artisan soap business, recently presented a $1,700 check to NCASARP to support new gear and apparel for the program’s athletes and volunteers.

NCASARP serves individuals with developmental disabilities in eight cities throughout San Luis Obispo County, offering year-round, weekly sports programs in partnership with the City of Atascadero and the Cal Poly Kinesiology Department.Activities include basketball, bocce ball, volleyball, line dancing, bowling parties, and regional events such as Project Surf Camp in Morro Bay.

Trevor, 24, is a longtime participant in the program and wanted to give back to the community that has brought him joy and personal growth. Born prematurely at 26 weeks and weighing only 1.7 pounds, Trevor has overcome significant challenges with the support of his mother, Tia Dealy, a teacher who incorporated hands-on, project-based learning into his education. One of those projects — soap making — sparked Trevor’s passion and led to the creation of Trev’s Trades.

In March, Trevor launched the “Adopt a Bulldog” fundraiser through his business, offering handcrafted soap bundles to donors. His original goal was to raise $500 to fund Bulldog hats and apparel. Thanks to strong community support and Trevor’s dedication, the campaign exceeded expectations, raising $1,700.

The funds will be used to purchase new Bulldog hats for both athletes and Cal Poly KE307 student volunteers, as well asBulldog T-shirts for future participants.
