Hello,  As many of you already know, I teach Adaptive skiing with a group of volunteers for people with disabilities.  Saturday February 2nd we have our big annual fund raiser at Snow Trails.  I would first like to invite anyone interested in attending as either a volunteer or participant to please come out and participate in the fun.  The below link will take you to our website where you can find out all about the event and other sporting opportunities we provide.  https://adaptivesportsconnection.org/sports-programs/

If you are unable to attend but would still like to help, please feel free to donate. Any amount is appreciated.  You can either donate directly through this page or you can mail a check made out to Adaptive Sports Connection to my address.  If you don't have my address feel free to catch me on messenger.  As I mentioned earlier we are a volunteer organization so the money you donate is going directly in to keeping the program running and provide such opportunities to the community.  

If you know of anyone with a disability please pass along the website.  We provide outdoor sporting opportunities year round for people of all ages and all disabilities.  Just a brief list of some of the activities includes: Downhill Skiing, Kayaking, Water Skiing, Cycling, Climbing, etc.

Thank you for your support and please consider coming out to join the fun.

Founded in 1992, Adaptive Sports Connection empowers children, adults, and veterans with physical and cognitive challenges through sports and therapeutic outdoor recreation.

We are an active chapter member of Disabled Sports USA, a national organization focused on improving the lives of wounded warriors, youth, and adults with disabilities by providing sports and recreation opportunities.

Over the years, we have been able to impact the lives of thousands of individuals and family members. From teaching a veteran how to water ski with one leg to helping a 92-year old hospice patient snow ski one last time – our programs change lives.

An unexpected accident that causes a spinal cord injury; cancer or diabetes that causes an amputation; war that causes an injury; birth defect that causes a malformation; neurological condition that causes immobility; stroke that causes partial paralysis; infection that causes vision impairment; substance abuse, dementia, brain injury, trauma, and any number of other conditions that cause cognitive and physical disabilities.

Research has since confirmed the power that sports can have for people with disabilities. A Harris Interactive research study of more than 1,000 adults with disabilities showed that those participating in adaptive sports programs had higher employment rates, were happier, healthier, and enjoyed higher socialization than those not participating in adaptive sports.

Through community partnerships with other organizations and school systems, along with increased awareness of our programs, we have seen an increase of nearly 50% - serving 1700 participants and family members. We had 1500 volunteer visits last year logging in nearly 78,000 hours.

With our continued growth, your support is critical. It costs $364 to serve one participant. From adaptive equipment, transportation, medical observation, adaptive sports training for volunteers, insurance, day programs, custom events, excursions and individual activities.

We need your help to keep up with the growing demands for our programs.
