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.

Eliza has been skiing with Achieve Tahoe several times this season, and it has been truly amazing to see her light up on the slopes. From unicorn hunting in the trees to searching out jumps, Achieve Tahoe has given her a sense of independence, freedom, and joy in the outdoors that she hasn't been able to experience previously. At the end of her last day there in February, her instructor Micah said for the next session he thought she should work on using both arms to turn. He then asked Eliza what her goals were. Eliza: "backwards somersault."

Join us in helping Eliza and all the other Achieve Tahoe participants achieve their goals!
