Ability Celebration Video 2009

The week starts with a Wounded Warrior Ability Camp for 25 soldiers and marines disabled in Iraq and Afghanistan. They receive specialized instruction in adapted alpine skiing and snowboarding at the Disabled Sports Program Center at Alpine Meadows. They also participate in other winter recreation designed as part of their therapy and re-integration into the community including snowmobiling and sledge hockey.

On Friday, March 19, the Ability Challenge ski race will team donors and sponsors with disabled skiers for a fun day of ski racing and on-hill activities. An après ski party and awards presentation is scheduled at the end of the day. Each team of 4 is paired with a disabled ski racer for the day.

The 4th Annual “Their Spirit Inspires” banquet was held Friday, June 19, 2009, at the Hyatt Regency Sacramento. The evening honored 15 Wounded Warriors injured while in service to our country by highlighting the role sports rehabilitation played in their recovery and adjustment to their disabilities.

The soldiers and marines participated in a three-day sports camp where they were taught to water ski, handcycle, kayak and canoe, white water raft and play sled hockey.

The Annual Spirit Award was given to Dave Conklin, Paralympic Gold Medalist for his dedication in teaching others and sharing his love of sports through adaptive recreation.
