This Saturday is Adaptive Sports Connection Winter Sports Challenege FUNdraising Day. Please consider going to adaptivesportsconnection.org to register for a fun filled day of skiing at Snow Trails. The new family and friends price of $75 includes Lift Ticket, Rentals, a lesson, ASC ski swag, a fabulous lunch provided by Wendys, and access to the hospitality tent with more fun between runs. If you have your own rental the price drops to $45. If you're unable to meet us on the slopes you can still support this amazing organization that taught Rick, Simon, and Donny to snow ski and now all three of them are giving back as volunteers. Our whole family has been blessed by the amazing volunteers and participants we are privileged to ski with each year. 

Be part of helping veterans, children, and adults with disabilities focus on their Abilities through sports, outdoor, and therapeutic recreation. There is something transformational when the wheelchair is left behind for an adaptive sit ski - giving the athlete the ability to feel the swoosh. We are on a mission to fuel the human spirit - sports is the tool we use. By getting people out doing again, we are getting them on the road to freedom. This helps with all aspects of life - employment, happiness, self-esteem, socialization, and overall health and well-being.

 

We all know life can change in an instant. The unexpected happens - an 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.

 

Boundless Hope on the Slopes is our social fundraising campaign - all funds go to support veterans, children and adults with disabilities participate in not only skiing, but kayaking, cycling, mountain biking, and sailing. It costs $400 to support one participant and we have over 1500 visits. We have grown 82% over the past two years and serve and partner with 12 School Systems; 5 hospitals and rehabilitation facilities, 12 veteran organizations, and 37 community and nonprofit organizations. Please help us reach our goal of $30,000 by donating and sharing!

 

"People with disabilities often put roadblocks up for themselves when they believe have they reached a point of no more improvement. Our experience with ASC has been so transforming in that we never felt like volunteers we worked with ever had those views of us and were always looking for ways to grow our skill and come alongside us to achieve things we didn’t think were possible." -ASC Participant and Family
