The Description

With these funds I will...

The 53K ski team is back this year and anxiously awaiting our school ski trip! My school is a special education school that serves students from 9th grade through their completion of school. We teach our students through a variety of hands-on experiences including trips. 

Our ski team creates these once-in-a-lifetime experiences for our students.

The team looks forward to this trip every year, and they get many intangible benefits from participating in this team sport of skiing. They love not only skiing together, but also supporting each other and seeing each other succeed. 

My ski team would be absolutely delighted for the opportunity to go on a trip to the Adaptive Sports Foundation. They have trained hard all year and for them to have the chance to go to a mountain to actually have the chance to ski would be a dream come true.

This trip will give my team memories that will last a lifetime!

The entire experience is one that they will be telling their friends and families about for years to come. Everything from the bus ride through the mountains, to seeing the ski resort for the first time, and even stopping at McDonald's on the way back, will bring so much joy to the team.

A trip like this can't happen without your support, so my team and I would like to thank you so much for whatever you are able to contribute to our adventure!

The Cougars ski team had a hugely successful ski trip to the Adaptive Sports Foundation at Windham Mountain on January 9! It was a bitter cold day, but our Cougars bundled up from head to toe, braved the falling snow and skied their hearts out! Thank you all so much for helping make this trip happen- we couldn't have done it without you all! Please enjoy this video with some highlights of our trip this year.
