Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Achieve Tahoe.

Achieve Tahoe is a nonprofit that builds health, confidence and independence through recreational sports for children and adults with disabilities. The organization serves over 500 people a year through one-on-one snowsports lessons, waterskiing, paddle sports and more. Achieve Tahoe's highly trained instructors and specialized, adaptive equipment allow the organization to serve just about anyone with any disability. Achieve Tahoe participants and family members often say that their experience with Achieve Tahoe goes on to affect other areas of their life such as gaining confidence to try other sports, becoming more social, and breaking down perceived barriers showing them that they can do things they perhaps never thought they could before.

I am participating in Achieve Tahoe's annual fundraiser because Achieve Tahoe has made a huge impact in our life and we so want others to have the same opportunities that we have had through Achieve Tahoe.

We are a family that loves skiing and spends a lot of time skiing when there is snow on the mountains. When Dylan had his brain injury at 16 months we wondered if he would be able to ski and how that would affect our weekend activities during the winter? We tried teaching him to ski and putting him in regular ski school lessons, none of it very successful. When Dylan was 4 1/2 we were introduced to Achieve Tahoe. We started putting him in lessons with Achieve Tahoe and low and behold he was able to ski. Dylan is now 12 1/2 and still loves skiing with Achieve Tahoe. In fact he much prefers to ski with Achieve Tahoe. Thanks to Achieve Tahoe Dylan's skiing has improved so much. He is now successfully skiing steep, groomed black diamond runs. He recently skied four chairs at Squaw Valley that he has never skied before. The look of pride on his face was priceless. He was so proud of himself as he should be!

Achieve Tahoe is much more than an organization that has taught Dylan to ski, it really is part of our family. Through Achieve Tahoe Dylan has met a great buddy who he has a ton of fun skiing with and hanging out with, he often asks when he's coming back to Truckee. We are so grateful that we found Achieve Tahoe. Everyone at Achieve Tahoe is amazingly supportive of Dylan, his differences and genuinely cares about him and all of the other athletes they are working with. Achieve Tahoe holds a very special place in our hearts.

Join me in supporting Achieve Tahoe so they can keep providing life-changing events to athletes like Dylan.
