Support adaptive programs at Achieve Tahoe.

I first heard of Achieve Tahoe last summer while struggling to teach my youngest how to ski. Parker, age 5, has autism and despite being a former ski instructor and trying everything possible I could not get him into his ski outfit most days much less on his ski's. This year we signed him up for lessons at Achieve and immediately fell in love with the program, the people and the results. Parker has been to 6 lessons so far and is falling in love with skiing, it is so exciting to see the smile on his face when he is on the snow and to be able to go skiing together as a family!

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.

"My son, who has Spina Bifida, started in this program 6 years ago. The instructors and staff are encouraging and fun, yet challenge him to go beyond his perceived limits. He's now independent on his mono-ski but keeps up with his lessons as he loves the program and learns something new every time. This is an amazing life changing program!"
